REMARKS.
This is one of those happy little trifles peculiar to Morton's style of dramatic composition, which will have its ephemeral popularity, be acted, be laughed at, and be forgotten. There is the old story of "a shocking bad hat" which forms one of the principal sources of amusement, changing its owner to suit the purpose of the author. Then, to use Grimshaw's own words, it "rains a shower of men and women," running the hay through closets, concealed panels and beds, causing ludicrous mistakes at every change of position, proving the author to be a thorough master of his art; in fact, no writer of the present day understands the stage effect of tableau, aided by dialogue, better than Morton; and the auditor who cannot laugh at Grimshaw, Bagshaw and Bradshaw, must indeed be a prey to spleen and unfit to associate with any true son of Momus.
