Gilbert and Sullivan Archive The Passing of Gilbert by H. L. Mencken From the Baltimore Evening Sun, May 30, 1911. How THE COMMON American conception of the English, as a stodgy and humorless folk, could so long withstand the fact of the Gilbert and Sullivan operas must ever remain one of the mysteries of international misunderstanding. Here, indeed, was wit that Aristophanes might have fathered; here was humor that Rabelais might have been proud to own. And yet it was the work of a thorough and unmitigated Englishman of William Schwenck Gilbert, to wit a man born in the heart of London, and one who seldom passed, in all his 75 years, out of hearing of Bow Bells. Gilbert died yesterday perhaps 15 years too late. His career really ended in 1896, when he and Sir Arthur Sullivan wrote "The Grand Duke", their last joint work. They had quarreled before and made up. Now they quarreled for good. Sullivan, searching about for a new partner, found that there was but one Gilbert. Basil Hood, Comyns Carr and Arthur Wing Pinero tried their hands and failed. And Gilbert himself, seeking a new Sullivan, learned that a new Sullivan was not be found. Edward German came nearest but "The Emerald Isle" was still miles from "The Mikado." The Gilbert and Sullivan partnership, in truth, was absolutely unique. One looks in vain for parallels. Beaumont and Fletcher, Meilhac and Halevy, the Goncourts these come to mind, but differences at once appear. Sullivan, without Gilbert, seemed to lose the gift of melody, and Gilbert, without Sullivan was parted from that exquisite humor which made him, even above Mark Twain, the merrymaker of his generation. The two men, working together for 15 years, found it impossible, after their separation, to work alone. Sullivan, cast adrift, took to the writing of oratorios and presently died. Gilbert settled down as a London magistrate and convulsed the world no longer.

Gilbert lived a peaceful childhood as the son of a retired naval surgeon. His schooling was extrordinary only in that it kept him from serving in the Crimean War. After graduation he served in the millitia for 20 years and put to use his training as an artillery officer and in military science. When he received a healthy inheritance from his aunt, Gilbert quit his loathesome job in a government bureau and indulged his fancy by becomeing a barrister. Called to the bar at age 28, he had no "rich attorney's elderly, ugly daughter" to help him escape mediocrity, so his law career lasted just a few years. However, before leaving his law practice, he did marry the daughter of an army officer. The period from 1868 to 1875 was a very fruitful period for Gilbert, primarily because two plays which he wrote in 1871 netted him huge financial rewards. This was also the year that he collaborated briefly with a composer named Sullivan on a production entitled
