An Enquiry into the Propriety of Gentlemen appearing on a Public Stage. (With an elegant: Engraving of Mr. BOWATER in the Character of Archer; in the Comedy of the Stratagem.)

A

LTHOUGH it is well known that many gentlemen of family and education have taken to the stage as a profeffion, yet it has been a matter of difpute, whether that has not been a degradation in them, and whether any perfon of the rank of a gentleman, can with propriety, appear on a stage, even for amufement. It is certain none can be ftiled good actors who have not judgment in fpeaking, and eafinefs of deportment; the man of liberal education bids fairest for being capable of the firff, and the gentleman alone, from being accustomed to good company, can only acquire the other. Since, therefore, it must be confeffed, that few but gentlemen and scholars are qualified to exécute the two great requifites of an actor, it feems a paradox in judgment to condemn thofe who have thefe qualifications, and exert them for the fatisfaction of the pub. lic, in the moft rational of all amufements. But whilft we fay this, it must be alfo confeffed that many ignorant and low bred perfons are on the flage, who, being filled with mean notions, adapted to their origin, run into vices, follies, and improprieties, which difgrace the ftage, and render them unfit to rank with gentlemen. Yet this very con

plaint is more the fault of the public than the theatre: If they condemn men of family and abilities for embracing that profeffion, they deter To many from it who would otherwife engage thereon, to the improvement of our diverfion, and the excluding thefe improper persons, of whom we fo juftly complain; and which no manager would retain, if he could procure others better qualified.

But in regard to thefe gentlemen who perform for their own amusement, the cenfure must be both unjuft, illiberal, and ungenerous. If they perform in private; his prefent majefty, and some of the firft perfonages, both men and women in the two nations, have done the Tame? and none but a fuperftitious bigot, or a four cynic, can condemn them. If, indeed, they perform in public, where money is taken to fee their performance, fome may cenfure them; but then thefe cenfors do not reflect that in most human actions, the end is to be confidered, and an indifferent action becomes highly praife-worthy when it tends to a laudable defign.
