PLAY BUILT
ABOUT NOVEL
BY DICKENS
Acting of Crummels Family
Makes Impresion on
Noted Author
‘NICKELBY’ IS VOLUME
Prologue of Play to Be Given
February 17 Is Taken
From Book
When such a group of actors as
the Crummels played George Lillo’s
tragedy, “Barnwell, or The Lon¬
don Merchant,” an integral part of
Nigel Playfair’s “When Crummels
Played,” Charles Dickens, eminent
English novelist, recorded his im¬
pressions of their efforts in one of
his novels, Nicholas Nickelby.
The prologue of “When Crum¬
mels Played,” which will be pre¬
sented here February 17, is taken
from this novel. A further proff
that Dickens knew the tragedy is
evidenced by the following lines
from “Pickwick Papers:”
Well Known
“ ‘Never mind George Barnwell,’
interrupted Sam (Weller) . . . ‘ev¬
erybody knew what sort of a case
his was, tho’ its’s always been my
opinion, mind you, that the young
’ooman deserved, a scragging a
percious sight more than he did.
Hows’ever, that’s neither here nor
there.’ ”
William M. Thackerary, author
of “Vanity Fair,” knew about
George Barnwell. Mrs. Siddons,
famed actress whose portrait by
Joshua Reynolds now hangs in the
Huntington art gallery, played the
part of Millwood at one time, while
Charles Lamb, essayist and critic,
attacked the theater managers for
putting on a crime drama for the
’prentices to see.
Nicholas Nickelby
According to E. J. Harvey Dar-
ton, author of “Vincent Crummels,
His Theater and, His Times,”
Charles Dickens used the character
of Crummels in his “Nicholas Nick¬
elby,” and transcribed this same
character from the real life of the
stage of his boyhood.

servatives that characterize the vi¬
cinity.

stump speeches at the presidential
poll last November, bold shouts of
“Let me vote,” and “I haven’t got
a ballot,” resounded over the cam¬
