Personne [Wilkins, Edward G. P.]. "Dramatic Feuilleton." New-York Saturday Press. 10 Mar. 1860: 3.
Electronic Source Available
Type: 
newspaper
Genre: 
theater criticism
Abstract: 

Personne begins with some general theatrical news, including the announcement of Bourcicault's Vanity Fair, which will employ some of the characters from Thackeray's novel and the current events at the French Theatre. Personne writes that he was supposed to visit the New Bowery to see The Dancing Father of the American Freebooters, but the musical drama closed before he could see it. Personne discusses Mrs. Wood's engagement at the Winter Garden and reviews Ivanhoe; he urges audiences to see her before her engagement ends next week. Personne mentions that there has been a "request" for him to "stir up Le Chauvre about his black ushers" and their ushering mistakes (3). Correspondence from Philadelphia from The Rural Gleaner that discusses the Opera follows the Feuilleton.

People Mentioned in this Work

Keene, Laura [pages:3]

Personne remarks that Keene should make a "splendid" Becky Sharp in Bourcicault's Vanity Fair (3).

Strakosch, Maurice and Max (brothers)

Maurice and Max Strakosch were brothers who emigrated from Austria. Their connection to the Pfaff's circle is tenuous; only two known sources tie them to Pfaff's directly.
