Légende

Mr. Westland Marston's New Play of "Philip of France and Marie de Meranie" (Act III. Scene Last), at the Olympic Theatre, [London], 1850. 'The play met with triumphant success, and has, moreover, the credit of having brought Miss Faucit back to the London public, and restored Mr. Brooke to the Olympic stage. Both, in the parts of the hero and heroine, exerted themselves to the utmost of their talent. Miss Faucit, indeed, acted with her usual fascination. She dropped the words of the text like melodious dews; and, indeed, fully entered into the poetry of the part. The mise en scene was also excellent, and all the appointments, scenery, and costumes were on a costly scale...We consider that the continued success of this tragedy will have important influence on the fortunes of the poetic drama. To the management of Mr. Farren it does the highest honour'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
