actors Edwin Booth, John McCullough, and Lawrence Barrett all distinguished themselves as Coriolanus; and the Italian Tommaso Salvini interpreted the part in Boston and other cities during the season of 1885–1886. The American actor who most identified himself with the rôle was, however, Edwin Forrest (1806–1872), whose Coriolanus was perhaps his favorite character and whose statue represents him dressed for that part.
The most notable French production of the play was that of M. Joubé at the Odéon in Paris in 1910. German performances have of late been characteristically numerous, but apparently not otherwise remarkable. In 1920 the tragedy was acted seven times in Berlin and twice at Lübeck. A total of 103 performances in different German cities has been collected for the period between 1911 and 1920.[1]
