Such being the origin of our drama, there was no necessity of making holy matters subjects for amuse- LIFE OF EDWIN FORREST. 223 ment. It was probably well for us that the Church of America had more respect for the Bible than those who madt3 religion a farce and the saints its characters. A drama like ours, having no monks nor priests to control it, would naturally produce good actors. So it did, and how a few of them were treated in England from sheer prejudice and a determination to encourage... nothing but of indigenous growth, we purpose to show. To such an extent was this national feeling carried, that actors of English birth, whose reputations were made in this country, and were considered as American actors, by education, actually found no favor among their own countrymen. Among these was JUNIUS BRUTUS BOOTH.
He was born at St. Pancras, near London, 1796 ; made his first appearance on the American stage, as a star, at Petersburg, Virginia, in 1821. It was probably more Booth s fault, rather than English prejudice, that ren dered him unpopular in London.
