Scene from "The Vicar of Wakefield", at the New Strand Theatre, [London] 1850. 'Mr. Tom Taylor has dramatised for this theatre the substantive story of Goldsmith's ever-delightful "Vicar of Wakefield;"...Mr Farren and Mrs. Glovor perform Dr. Primrose and his lady, so pompous, so pathetic. Olivia has fallen to the lot of Mrs. Stirling, who, acting it admirably throughout, gained a triumph at the end, when, as the returning penitent, she clasped her father's knees and wrestled for his pardon. Mr. and Mrs. Leigh Murray, as Burchell and Mrs. Skeggs, were telling; Mr. Norton, as Squire Thornhill, was effective; and the two junior Farrens, as Moses and Ephraim Jenkinson, were not much amiss; whilst Farmer Flamborough was capitally performed by Mr. Bender. It is needless to say that, thus supported, the drama was most successful.' From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
