Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Irish Ambassador: A Comedy in Two Acts The "Irish Ambassador" was introduced to the American Public by the late Tyrone Power, and the comedy returns the compliment wherever and whenever it is brought before us, by calling up the jovial image, and renewing the pleasant memory of that happiest of Irish performers. The first personator of Sir Patrick O´Plenipo stands apart in the recollection of all modern frequenters of the Theatre, a cabinet picture by itself, neatly framed, in glowing color, and so like life that we all remember him as a personal friend, with whom we have passed many happy hours. We do not seem to have known him on the stage, with make-believe scenery and the glare of the footlights, but as the cheerfullest of boon companions, with whom it was our good fortune to have been intimately acquainted, and to have passed many of the most delightful evenings of our lives. Other men act the Lishman, Power was the Irishman: whether gentle or simple, (as an admirable critic in a contemporary magazine described him,) the attorney or the tailor, the country gentleman or the rustic, the valet or the ambassador, he was the finest, the most natural, the most attractive actor of his time. He gave perpetual freshness to a range of parts liable to a monotonous treatment. Without much reference to the wit or poverty of his author, he flooded the scene with the abundant sunshine of his own ample humor, and the poorest subordinates who played with him brightened, like the happy insects of summer, in his enlivening glow. He has had many successors, and (it is but justice to him and them) to say he has had no equal. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
