Էջ 28 - The idea of a play on Beau Brummel is, I believe, Mr. William Winter's. The execution of that play — Mr. Winter claims it has been an execution in more ways than one — some of the business, and the great bulk of the dialogue is mine. The artistic touch, some of the lines in the comedy, not the most important ones, and the genius that has made it a success are Mr. Mansfield's.
Էջ 80 - David Garrick' — especially the scenes in which he attempts to disenchant the citizen's daughter by assuming the excesses of a drunkard — Mr. Sothern was droll and effective, without being overstrained, and there was real feeling in his sense of the humiliation he inflicts upon himself to save the girl who loves him from a misplaced passion.

Mr Shaw's cynicism is not in the least splenetic ; on the contrary, it is imperturbably good-humoured and almost amiable.

Էջ 73 - Cyrano, and that was the«only fact to be regarded. To this feeling, the supreme expression was accorded by the author in his dedication of the play : " C'est a I'dme de Cyrano que je voulais dedier ce poeme. Mais puisqu'elle a passe en vous, Coquelin, C'est a vous que je le dedie.
Էջ 162 - The Courier of Lyons." This is a mere expression of individual opinion, but it may at least be accepted as an impartial one, since I myself had previously adapted the play, and had acted it repeatedly ; but upon seeing Reade's version, I put my own behind the fire. Excellent as his manipulation of the work was, "The Courier of Lyons" did not at that time do much to advance Mr.
