Excerpt from Granfather Whitehead
The favorite little two-act piece is an adaptation from the French. It was originally produced in its present Anglicised form at the Haymarket Theatre, 27th September, 1842. Of Farren's performance of the old man on this occasion, one of the critics of the day remarks: "Frequently and oft have we witnessed and admired his performances of the old man, and especially of Uncle Foozle; but, however praiseworthy we deemed these several representations, they are as nothing in comparison with his Grandfather Whitehead. The doting fondness for his little grandson - the childlike participation and joy in his amusements - the delight at his boyish interruptions to grandad's writing-lesson - the screening him from correction, and taking the rod into his own hands - are exceedingly natural; and then, again, the fine universal benevolence of the old man - his wish, and almost irritability at not being able to make every one happy - his contentment, interrupted only by the thought now and then breaking in upon the weakened intellect of eighty-three, of his being a burden to others, - are most life-like; and farther, his tottering walk - his chuckling laugh - his short breathing and hesitating sentences - and, under great grief. his stricken body and mind, - are all most admirably, but painfully true; in short, the portrait is perfect."
This commendation may be applied without qualification to Mr. H. Placide's excellent acting in the same part. It is one of those artist-like pictures, which once seen live in the memory as distinctly as our recollections of real personages, with whom we may have been familiar, and who may have impressed us by their saliency of character or by their being mingled up with circumstances, that have left their ineffaceable print upon our minds.
