They ought, it was said, have been all the more anxious to welcome him on account of his American ex- periences the year before, when the jealousy of Forrest, an American actor, nearly led to the English tragedian being killed. So it was said. But there was another version of the story about Forrest and Macready. When Edwin Forrest came to Cork, in the spring of 1846, he told us that Macready had behaved very badly towards him in London ; that he had through sheer jealousy got up a claque again...st him, and had made things in general rather unpleasant for his American rival. It is but right to state also that G. V. Brooke complained that he also had suffered in a similar fashion at the hands of Macready and his claque. Brooke and Forrest were very good friends, and the warmest welcome Brooke got in America was from the great American trage- dian. Forrest was a fine actor. I never saw a better " Hamlet " than his. Macready's visit to Cork was not a financial success, but quite the reverse.
