1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Die-hard Melodrama By Christopher (o.d.c.) From the Introduction:The Gamester was first presented at the Drury Lane Theatre February 7, 1753 with Garrick in the leading role, and ran for ten successive nights. Up to the middle of the nineteenth century it remained a popular stock piece--John Philip Kemble, Mrs. Siddons, Mrs. Barry, the Keans, Macready, and others having distinguished themselves in it--and in America from 1754 to 1875 it enjoyed even more performances than in England.I've seen enough bad silent movies to know that this type of melodrama was still going strong into the 1920s and 30s. If you can picture John Barrymore in, say, GRAND HOTEL, then you can picture David Garrick as Beverly:SCENE VI. changes to the street. Stage darkened. Enter Beverley.Bev. How like an out-cast do I wander! Loaded with every curse, that drives the soul to desperation! The midnight robber, as he walks his rounds, sees by the glimmering lamp my frantic looks, and dreads to meet me. Whither am I going? My home lies there; all that is dear on earth it holds too; yet are the gates of death more welcome to me. I'll enter it no more—Who passes there? Tis Lewson. He meets me in a gloomy hour; and memory tells me, he has been meddling with my fame.Notice that the author, who says in the preface that he sought to avoid writing verse, has managed to do so. here and elsewhere. Still, there is something admirable in how completely Moore has put in ALL the cliches: the patient suffering wife, the false friend, the true friend, the 'too late' legacy, even the faithful Jarvis..Bev. [...] How speaks the world of me, Jarvis?Jar. As of a good man dead. Of one, who walking in a dream, fell down a precipice. The world is sorry for you.Bev. Ay, and pities me. Says it not so? But I was born to infamy. I'll tell thee what it says. It calls me villain; a treacherous husband; a cruel father; a false brother; one lost to nature and her charities—Or to say all in one short word, it calls me—Gamester.
