GARR1CK CLUB 



3432 



GARROD 



Dublin with Sheridan, appeared at 

 Covent Garden during 1746-47. 

 After this Garrick became the 

 chief proprietor of Drury Lane, 



Garrick Club, London. The dining room, notable, like 



the other rooms in the building, for its collection of 



theatrical pictures 



where he henceforth appeared. 

 Specially noteworthy were his 

 Shakespearean productions, which 

 marked a great revival in the 

 popularity of Shakespeare's plays 

 and an attempt to secure accuracy 

 in costume and mounting. Hamlet, 

 Lear, Macbeth, and Richard III 

 were among his most distinguished 

 performances. After 17(56 Garrick 

 only appeared occasionally, except 

 for his farewell season in 1776. His 

 death on Jan. 20, 1779, called forth 

 Johnson's famous remark that the 

 event had " eclipsed the gaiety of 

 nations, and impoverished the 

 public stock of harmless pleasure." 

 He was buried at the foot of 

 Shakespeare's statue in West- 

 minster Abbey. 



A man of wit and versatility, 

 Garrick enjoyed the friendship of 

 many of the most distinguished 

 figures of his day, to whom his 

 house at Hampton Avas well known, 

 and his services to the English 

 stage were inestimable. His long 

 association with the beautiful 

 " Peg " Woffington ended in 1749, 

 when he married Eva Maria Veigel, 

 a German lady, who survived him 

 until 1822.

Garrick Club. London club. It 

 was founded in 1831 by Francis 

 Mills as a society " in which 

 actors and men of education and 

 refinement might 

 meet on equal 

 terms." The origi- 

 nal club house was 

 at 35, King Street, 

 Covent Garden ; the 

 present premises, 

 designed by F. 

 Marrable, at 15, 

 Garrick Street, 

 S tran d , we re o pe n c d

 the leading actors 

 and many eminent 

 literary men are 

 among the 650 

 members. See The 

 Garrick Club, P. H. 

 Fitzgerald, 1904. 



Garrick Theatre. 



London theatre in 

 Charing Cross Road, 

 W.C. It was open- 

 ed April 24, 1889, 

 by Sir John Hare 

 with The Profligate, 

 and continued suc- 

 cessfully under his 

 management for 

 several years. 



Garrison (Fr. garnison, from 

 garnir, to supply). Armed force 

 ostensibly employed to defend any 

 place, especially a fortress. Places 

 in the United Kingdom where the 

 R.G.A. companies are stationed 

 may indicate the points where our 

 security might be threatened by 

 an invader, but towns like Brighton 

 used to be called garrison towns 

 because a regiment was, for the 

 sake of convenience, quartered 

 there. See Fortress.

 1864). American politician. Born 



Jers

Harvard. He 



became a bar- 



rister in Phila- 



d e 1 p h i a in 



1886, and two 



years later be-

In 1904 Garrison was made vice- 



chancellor of the state of New 



Jersey, and in March, 1913, Wilson 



appointed him secretary of war,

Garrison, WILLIAM LLOYD 

 (1805-79). American abolitionist. 

 Born at Newburyport, Massa- 



L. M. Garrison, 

 American politician 



W. Lloyd Garrison, 

 American abolitionist 



chusetts, Dec. 12, 1805, he was 

 apprenticed to the printer of Tie 

 Newburyport Herald, where he 

 gained a thorough knowledge of the 

 craft and considerable experience 

 in journalism. 

 Before he was 

 20 he was 

 writing arti- 

 cles, under the 

 pseudonym of 

 Aristides, at- 

 tacking the in- 

 stitution of 

 s 1 a v e r y. In 

 1826 he became 

 editor of The 

 Newburyport Free Press, and in 

 1827 of The National Philan- 

 thropist, the first paper founded in 

 America to advocate temperance. 

 In 1829 he joined the Quaker, Ben- 

 jamin Lundy, in his work on The 

 Genius of Universal- Emancipation, 

 a paper founded by Lundy eight 

 years previously. Garrison now ex- 

 pressed views so repellent to the 

 prevalent opinions on the slavery 

 question that a libel action against 

 him ended in his imprisonment. 

 On his release he made a lecturing 

 tour on behalf of the cause, and in 

 1831 started to publish at Boston 

 a weekly journal, The Liberator. 



In face of great practical difficul- 

 ties, he continued to produce his 

 paper until 1865, having witnessed 

 the triumph of his cause in 1863. 

 Meanwhile, he wrote Thoughts on 

 African Colonization, 1832, and, by 

 lectures and the founding of the 

 Anti-Slavery Society in Philadel- 

 phia in 1843, worked indefatigably 

 to rouse his countrymen from their 

 apathy on this subject. He visited 

 Great Britain on the same mission 

 in 1833, 1846, 1818, and again in 

 1867. He died in New York on 

 May 24, 1879.
