Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Weak Points: A Farce in Two Acts The following is an original farce - that is to say - it is neither translated nor adapted from the French; though where an amusing vaudeville is successfully produced at a foreign Theatre the sneers at the poor scribe, who with materials drawn from the same source, may venture to make an English audience laugh, partake marvellously of small cant, and is usually found to emanate from a quarter, that writes itself, and is either wanting in the tact necessary for the transformation of a French farce into an English one, or that looks upon its own very original bantlings, as the wonders of the earth, and has not the common charity to introduce the child of a stranger, to the notice of a coveted public. As to Weak Points, where is the human being without his Weak Point? A question that will shortly be answered, it is hoped, by the words "not one;" more especially if it relates to the possession of a copy of this Number. The quaker´s advice to his son, applies to all Farce writers: "Aminadab get money - honestly if you can - but get money." - The motto of the interlude scribbler should be, "Make your audience laugh - legitimately if you can but make them laugh." In the present instance the audience laughed merrily, and as the legitimate end of Farce is to create laughter, the conclusion is that the author of "Weak Points" made his audience laugh very legitimately.
