Sketches at the Lyceum: "The Corsican Brothers": Mr. Irving as Fabien de' Franchi; seeing his brother's ghost, 1881. '[Our illustration showing...the first "Ghost Scene" in "The Corsican Brothers," with Mr. Irving as Fabien de' Franchi, needs literally no explanation. It may be fairly said to speak for itself; and, like a Corporation Address to Royalty, may be "taken as read." Everybody has seen "The Corsican Brothers" at the Lyceum, and most people will see it again and again...No greater proof could be found, perhaps, of the firm hold obtained by the existing programme at the Lyceum on the public favour than the fact that the audiences at the theatre under the management of Mr. Henry Irving showed, even at the acutest period of the recent Great Frost, fewer signs of diminution than were visible at any other place of entertainment in the metropolis...The constancy with which these courageous playgoers night after night supported Mr. Henry Irving and Miss Ellen Terry approached the marvellous'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
