Scene from "A Bottle of Smoke" at the Adelphi Theatre, 1856. London stage production. 'This little piece continues to justify the favourable opinion we expressed of it on its production. The plot, as we have observed before, is remarkably slight, but the merriment which it elicits is unbounded. This is no doubt attributable in a great degree to the excellent acting of Wright, who plays the part with an evident relish of the humours of the situations. Pretty Miss Wyndham proves herself a most natural and earnest actress in the little part of Lucy Merton, and really seems the clever industrious artist she assumes to be. Our Illustration represents the close of the piece, where Mr. Cambricson, convinced of his folly in suspecting Lucy, endeavours to make amends by turning fuchsia-doctor himself. We have no doubt but this merry little piece will have a long and prosperous run'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
