Excerpt from Theatrical Notes
From the moment it succeeded, a return to, or a continuance of, what had before been seen became impossible. Ruin speedily drove from the London stage the manager who could not benefit by ex perience. Into the merits and defects of the Robertsonian comedy, accepted from the outset by the public, disputed step by step by critics of a certain order, called by damaging nicknames not yet wholly forgotten, there is no need to enter. Nothing prettier or more healthful has replaced it, and the most conspicuous of subsequent popular successes have not seldom emanated from men who have had the feeling or the courage to go back to the Robertso'nian style.
