The mantle of the Elizabethan Poets seems to have fallen on Mr.
Stephens, for we have scarcely ever met with, in the works of modern
dramatists, the truthful delineations of human passion, the chaste and
splendid imagery, and continuous strain of fine poetry to be found in
The Hungarian Daughter.Cambridge Journal.
Equal to Goethe. All is impassioned and effective. The Poet has availed
himself of every tragic point, and brought together every element; nor,
with the exception, of Mr. Knowless Love, has there been a single
Drama, within the last four years, presented on the Stage at all
comparable.Monthly Magazine.
After which will be performed, also for the First Time, An Original
Entertainment in One Act, Entitled
THE CLOAK AND THE BONNET! By the Author of Jacob Faithful, Peter Simple,
&c. &c.
No Orders admitted.No Free List, the Public Press excepted.
Now for our penny trumpet.
THEATRICALS EXTRAORDINARY. READER,Allow us to solicit your kindness so
far as to give publicity to the following announcement, by buying up and
distributing among your friends the whole of the unsold copies of this
number. The success of this undertaking will prove so advantageous to
the public at large, and of so little benefit to ourselves, that we fear
not your compliance in so good a cause.
Yours obediently, PUNCH.
VIVANT KANT ET TOMFOOLERIE. THEATRE ROYAL PERIPATETIC, WELLINGTON-STREET
SOUTH, STRAND. Conducted by the Council of the Fanatic Association
established for the full encouragement of Timber Actors and Wooden-
headed Dramatists.
ADDRESS TO THE PUBLIC; OR, PUNCH BLOWING HIS OWN TRUMPET, The general
National feelings of the British Public are proverbially interested in
every endeavour to obtain a blind alley, and no Fantoccini. Compelled
by the New Police Act to move on, and so present our high tragic
composition by small instalments (in effecting which, nevertheless,
regard has been hadThis parenthesis to be continued in our next), we
hope for such kind consideration as may be due, when it is remembered
that the law for the out-door PUNCH and the law for the in-door PUNCH is
not one and the same law. Oh, law!
On SATURDAY, the 28th of AUGUST, will be presented,
(Interspersed with Drum and Mouth Organ),
PUNCHINUZZI, BY EGO SCRIBLERUS, ESQ. Taken from his magnificent
Dramatic Poem, entitled, PUNCH NUTS UPON HIMSELF.
The following Opinions on the Actable qualities of Punchinuzzi, are
selected from a vast mass of similar notices.
This ere play ud draw at ony fare.The late Mr. Richardson.
This happy poetic drama would be certain to command crowded and elegant
courts.La Belle Assemblée.
We have read Punchinuzzi, and we fearlessly declare that the mantle of
that metropolitan bard, the late Mr. William Waters, has descended upon
the gifted author.Observer.
Worthy of the streets in their best days.Fudge.
No Orders! No Free List! No Money!!.
