Scene from the New Drama of "The Evil Genius", at the Haymarket Theatre, 1856. A '...comedy likely to prove prosperous...fitted as the leading character is for the style of Mr. Buckstone's humour...The interest of the drama consists in the petty annoyances of the sort with which the fertile invention of Cooley's old friend Ripstone is continually occupied, in order to plague him into a recognition of his neglected boy, and break off the match that the ambitious nabob is desirous of effecting with a woman of fashion and family, whose only motive for the alliance is the wealth that it will bring to herself. Tom is, therefore, really serving not only the orphaned boy, but the unprincipled father himself, though not exactly in the way that the latter would prefer...The scenery, by Callcott, Morris, and O'Connor, is magnificent'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
