Sketches at the Prince of Wales' Theatre, 1881. London stage productions. 'Mr and Mrs Forrester...Dick Forrester takes his wife to his arms, both promising mutual amendment and good faith...the Colonel...reconciles the silly young husband and wife; Basil Giorgione (Mr. Rowland Buckstone), the nephew of the art-impostor, adoring a lily in a glass; Lady Tompkins seated at a table in a rapt attitude, gazes on a sunflower; the gay and gushing Nellie, tomboy in manner and Philistine at heart...represented by Miss C. Grahame...: "Look how they make me dress!!"; Mrs Blyth, the merry widow, enchantingly represented by Miss Amy Roselle...the house is taken possession of by the apostle of the school, one Lambert Streyke (Mr. Flockton); the little cleverly-written play by Sydney Grundy called "In Honour Bound"...shows how necessary it is for young ladies to burn their love-letters, whether married or single. They do not always find such trusting and honourable men as Sir George Carlyon (Edgar Bruce), who, like a good fellow, burns the record of his wife's weakness, and earns her love'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
