Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Kiss in the Dark: A Farce, in One Act This is one of the most laughable productions of Buckstone´s comic muse. It is, every line, genuine farce - and its success should have contented the author. Originality in a trifle like this, is not absolutely requisite: a laugh is all that is aimed at - and this he has succeeded in raising, in a perfect storm of cachination; but, when he claims originality for "A Kiss in the Dark," in the following advertisement - "´A Kiss in the Dark´ is original - which is, perhaps, its best recommendation, and only necessary to state at this moment, in consequence of the probable International Copyright Law," - He courts detection. The novelty of idea claimed, is, we suppose, the spot of ink placed on the lady´s nose, as a tell-tale. We remember seeing a very good story in all the newspapers, twelve or fourteen years ago, in which an incident was recorded of a newly married couple traveling in a railroad-car. The lady´s under lip was adorned with what was fashionably termed, "a beauty-spot," - consisting of a small piece of round black sticking-plaster, placed there, most saucily, as an ornament.
