Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from How to Pay the Rent: A Farce in One Act This farce was originally produced at the Haymarket Theatre in April, 1840. It fully established itself, the first night, as one of the merriest things going; and it says not a little for its merits, that notwithstanding the united attractions of the authorship and acting of the lamented Power, which attended its first representation, it still retains its place on the stage as one of the most mirth-provoking after-pieces. Power, as Morgan Rattler, with his truckle bed for furniture and a rope line for wardrobe, was always gloriously at home in the piece, and acted with wonderful effect upon the risibilities of his audience. Mr. Collins is also very successful in the part. It is one of his best; and while he plays it with uniform good taste, there is no lack of spirit in his delineation. Indeed, the applause he has received in enacting this creation of Power himself, shows that the mantle of that thorough type of Erin is recognised as having fallen upon worthy shoulders. With regard to the morale of the Irishman´s peculiar mode of paying the rent, we must confess it is not a little dubious; although, in the particular instance brought before us in the representation, the principle is divested of its worst feature, by being made the instrument of rescuing a poor widow from the gripe of a merciless landlord. In this respect it will compare quite favourably with but too many instances of every-day occurrence, in which the end, as well as the means, is alike selfish and objectionable. This piece is quite a favourite at the Park and Olympic theatres, where it is frequently performed, Mr. Nickinson ably sustaining the part of Morgan Rattler at the latter establishment.
