Scene from "Partners For Life," at the Globe Theatre, 1871. London stage production. 'We are happy to record the continued success of Mr. Byron's excellent comedy, "Partners for Life." Dependent for the attraction which it undoubtedly exercises rather on the dialogue than on the action, the text gives an opportunity for the effective delivery of smart sentences and witty sayings. Of the few situations which it contains we have selected, perhaps, the best - that at the end of the second act, where Fanny Smith (Miss Carlotta Addison) recognises Tom Gilroy (Mr. H. J. Montague) as her husband, from whom she has been long parted. After some explanation, they are reconciled, and fall into each other's arms on the sofa, and are discovered by Mr. Mervyn (Mr. David Fisher), Muggles (Mr. Compton), and others, who are duly shocked at the impropriety committed. The tableau brings down the curtain with effect, and conduces much to the prosperity of the drama'. From "Illustrated London News", 1871.
