The song was performed by the celebrated tenor Charles Incledon 1763-1826 among the most popular singers of the Georgian stage.

193722992London: Gerald Howe Ltd. Very Good. 1937. 2nd printing. Softcover. illustrated French wrappers covers a little edgeworn small tear in spine covering at base of spine a little discoloration to spine itself. Barnstormer Plays Series This is "a Traditional Acting version" of the classic 4-act melodrama first performed in 1847 which was in turn adapted from a British "penny dreadful" that had not yet completed its publication in serial form when the dramatic version was first performed. Originally entitled "The String of Pearls; or The Fiend of Fleet Street" it was one of several hundred plays authored by George Dibdin Pitt from approximately 1831 through his death in 1855. It was Pitt who made Todd the murderous "demon barber" into the primary figure of the tale and its popular success has led to a long afterlife in almost every entertainment medium most notably the Broadway musical by Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler. This particular edition of the play seems likely to have been inspired by two British film versions: according to the copyright page it was first published in this form in 1928 the release year of a silent film adaptation starring Moore Marriott and reprinted here in February 1937 shortly after the release of what is probably the best-known film version starring the evocatively-named Tod Slaughter. Interestingly this entire "Barnstormer Plays" series seems to have been inspired by Tod Slaughter's films since the preceding and first title in the series was "Maria Marten" the basis for Slaughter's 1935 film MURDER IN THE RED BARN. The introduction by Montagu Slater editor of the series gives some background information about Pitt and his work. . Gerald Howe Ltd. paperback books
