Sketches at Drury Lane and the Adelphi, 1883. London stage productions. "A Sailor & his Lass" and "In the ranks"...Joe Buzzard (Mr. E. W. Garden) and Mrs. Buzzard (Mrs. H. Leigh) are deservedly portrayed by our Artist...the vivid individuality thrown into the impersonation of these two parts contributes materially to the success of "In the Ranks." The scenes from "A Sailor and His Lass," delineated by M. Forestier...[portray] the exciting nature of the sensational melodrama written by Mr. Robert Buchanan and Mr. Augustus Harris...the discovery of the dead body of Squire Carruthers, murdered by Farmer Morton (Mr. James Fernandez), because the latter suspected him...of having led astray his daughter Esther. The farmer is instigated to commit this crime by the modern Mephistopheles of the piece, Richard Kingston (Mr. Henry George)...The gallant sailor, Harry Hastings (Mr. A. Harris), has meantime taken pity on the unfortunate Esther (Miss Sophie Eyre)... A party of...dynamitards...attempt to murder him; but he is warned in time by a stowaway (capitally played by Miss Clara Jecks)...The scenes in Newgate whilst Harry Hastings awaits his fate have been judiciously shortened; and the happy termination of the drama is arrived at the sooner'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
