Scene from the new farce of "The Slow Man", at the Adelphi Theatre, 1854. London stage show. '...the extraordinary scene in Mr. Mark Lemon's farce...in which the epic poet, who is the hero of the piece, is intruded upon by Hector Rackett and his friends of the fancy, with the pet-boxer, much to his personal disquiet, and altogether to the ruin of the great work which he had projected. The headlong revelry...is novel in stage incident and, had it been sufficiently prepared for, would have created for the drama in which it was introduced a permanent reputation...Writers of drama have too great a tendency to run into routine; and thus...one production resembles another too closely. Combinations, like the present, drawn from real life, not only present novelty, but give vitality to situation. Mr Lemon is, therefore, to be commended for the boldness which he has shown in the invention of the incident'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
