horn, the Morning Chrenicle,
To Robert Thunderbolt, Efq.
Dear Sir,
I have lately obferved in the papers,
feveral hints from you concerning the
eflahlifhment of a fwearing Academy ;
and though ftich an inditution might in
fonie degree clafli with the interells of
my profcffion, yet I have every dispo-
lUion to encourage an undertaking of
fuel) public advantage.
I am Sir one ofthofe perfonages who
devote themfelves to thebufinefs of in-
flrutling and entertaining their fellow
creatures ; who are unremitting in
their efibrts to pleafe—who live entire*
ly on the noife of clapping of hands—
wlio bulk inthefunlliine of public good
humour, and expire in a defperate fit
ofllarvatioH althti hifs of a critic.
To keep you no longer in fufpence fir,
I am an acior~-at lealt in my own opin
ion, and have long trod tiie Huge
with rapidly encrealiug merit.
The theatre, fir, has hitherto an-
iwercd.mufl of the purpofes of a fwear
ing atailenjyf .Bs all thc’oaths that have
been uttered there, from time to time
have been • carelully. culLecled by
the young gentlen.an who attend,
and ciiculated about town for the edifi
cation of thie.public.
Now,though your inflitution will fu-
percede the irupnrtaiute.of.Lhe -theatre
in this rerpec\,_j;^et as. I have before oh-
fert ed, 1 wilh it life uliuoirTuccers.
To be candid withyoir,'! am fn hopes
that yoti_«iU |irovide auiong .your oth
er a[iaiigemeiits a theatric tutor, who
llrtill be'appointed to wait'ilpon uV'du-
riiig iehearfals, lor the purpofe of giv
ing lelliins ij) tire true method offwenr-
ingViaiitlfoTtrc f--an accomplilhment of
whlcl). many ofTirir corps are very de
ficient. Notfflng can be' riibre ridicu
lous th,iO Ilia Itwkwaid manner in which
fo'm'e of Ifs rn'e dfclivered of an oath, it
cither, c.reeps .out Jb minced and mou-
tiled and indiAmeVtllat its beauty is en
tirely fort,'or cll’e it bounde's forth with
a rduiVhW’adfidV Tore moll and flies in
jour lade like a coi'k-&oma bottle of
iparUliltg ghampaign.
Oti*> tvotild-alinort thin)ft»H*we (hoiild
be pci fcc\ mailers of the ai/^,flteififehoW
iiiucH: priiblice we liaye ha^of late.
I or finct the lntiodu®oTi of German-
dramas we have liulc |b do b&t/Jrqy and
s'Mor from one end of (be play'tb the
other. Oiie raomeut tie are elevated
to thb climax of p*.lion,’ -and fwearing'
with all the grace and eloqiieiwe of a
'I'rooper; the next, down on our knees
jirtiyiiig with llie moll feirvent devoiit-
iiefs. Sonic of our dramatic authors
have thought proper to tiiiile ihefe two
ch.-tracleiirtiGs of a moelerit play ; and
we now and then “ fwear a prayer or
two" with the mull alleclingpathos.
This cullom of praying 1 lin'd turns
rather expeiilive in the end, for, as we
ihi'..k proper always togo down on our
Knees on ihtfe occulions, it has a moll
melancholy tftbet on the knees of otir
I'miiil clothes, and 1 have had half a do
zen pair rendered unfit for fervice on
th'.vt very account.
I am now in a Hate of the tendered
anxiety for the health of my only remai-
iiiiig pair : as we are old ftieiids, I can-
nitt but feel the moll lively afieClion for
Hum ; they are a kind of Jack of all
trades, that have accompanied me in
ail my changes from king to cuhlcr ; a
pa r olTlor.kings roll'd over the knees
fit them for the habiliments of an old
codger, a Halil or two of lilk renders
thtiii the court drefs ofa Spaiiilh gran
dee, w hile three Hips of tiiifcl and gild-
ed leather coiivci I them into the armour
of an ancient warrior. Thus do Ihefe
pccommodaling I'luall clothes demean
iheml'elves to every filualion in life, and
figure to equal advantage in Alexander
.the OVriK, or Alexander the Copber-,,.
IJow'dhey will Hand out ano^
(her praying campaign I cannot ima
gine ; hut 1 very much fear they will
j'oon have to accompany the exile of the
111.f .ruinate black hreerheni and half
h.-iots that formerly graced the extremi
ties of the worthy king of Scotland.
“ JJuntan’s are in their grave
R.vther than iny black velvets Ihould
lhare their untimely fate, I will employ
luy friend Shapler to cot them up and
convert them intomalks to cover the fa
ces of our pei'foi'iners in carnival felli-
vilies.
Hut hold 1" if I do not check niy-
felf I may expofe all the doinellic ar
rangements of our Wai'di'obe ; I may
tell all contrivances in luriung inlide
cut, and outfide in ; ot metamorpholiiig
a morning gown into a royal Woorilli
manile ; a hel|net into a nightcap, and
a coat of mail into an iinder-jackel ; I
might tell homUbme performers drefs
for half a doEen charaSlers at once, ahd
change their appearance by taking off a
fuit at the end of every scene ; fo that
one who, with half the wardrobe of the
company on his back at the commence
ment of the play, might have waddled
ilia coniplele I'alllafi', fhall flink off the
ftage a perfctl Mailer, blender at the
falling of the curtain.
I might mention the convenient red
drefs worn by a detachment of thofe
whom Mr. Oldstyle terms the Buck
rams ; but who, from the colour of their
clothes, and the graceful manner of
I their crawling on the (lage, they "are
termed by the wags of the green-room
the Travelling Lobsters. Thefe pleafant
I geniul'es feeni to have adopted a drefs
luited to all ages and countries, the
fame fuit ferves for the armies of con
tending nations, and the only way of
finding out to which party they bi long
ill any battle, is to notice whether they
come in at the right fide or the left.
All thefe, and many more interelling
particulars, I coul relate, but that I ne
ver perniix myfelf to indulge in digref-
lion. Were that not the cafe,oh! Mr.
Thunderbolt, «• I could ti tale Unfold."
“ But liir eternal biazM mmt net he.'*
So to die point. .The incrcafed habit
of fwe.aring has likewifo inoreafed the
dbinaiid fur oaths j and we have of late
betii iiuublc to procure enough'to fup-
ply our neceflifics. You can’t think,
Mr. 1 iiunderholt, the great advantage
it is loiiii aflor totbe well verfed in the
voculniuM'y-bf flvearing : when he is
out in |i(s-part, nothing is more conve
nient tjian a firing of cUrfes fo uttered
while the prompter is giving him his
cue.. When a comedy or farce goes off
heavily, a few fiiiart oath*, Icaitcred
here ar.d there, have a wonderful eli'cel
in exciting mirth an.eng die gods.
Iliit it IS time for rcheurrul i I mufi
therefore^ conclude with iiitreating you
to take into confidertllion the expedien
cy ot appointing a tulor to attend the
theatre ; and, in the mean lime, hope
you will fend the manager an alfart-
ment of the haiulfomefl oaths you have
tnihand as.-a teniporai'y lupufir durintr
the benefit feafon.
-As 1 happen to menlion our benefits,
I will ad(l, that we feel flattered and
grateful for the countenance the pub
lic have flicwn to thofe of us who have
already had their nights. Whatever
may be our leelings or iniperfebliont,
•we have hearts warm with fentiiiients
of gratitude to thofe who honour us
with fuch unequivocal and fubfiamial
inaiks oi their good will.
