William Schwenk Gilbert was a prolific English playwright and dramatist. This play was published during the most successful decade of his career. In 1907 Gilbert was the first dramatist to be knighted and during his fifty years as a playwright he was credited with raising the standards on the English stage for both the playwright and the actor his use of the Comic was so unique the term 'Gilbertarian' was coined for his work which has never been truly successfully imitated.

One broadside sheet printed recto only. 18-1/8" x 6-1/4" <br/><br/>Margaret Julia Mitchell popularly known as Maggie Mitchell was an American actress born in New York. She made her first regular appearance as Julia in The Soldier's Daughter at the Chambers Street Theatre in 1851. The parts in which she was best liked were Jane Eyre Mignon Little Barefoot and Fanchon the Cricket. Wiki In January 1861 At at De Bar’s St. Charles Theatre in New Orleans Mitchell first appeared in Fanchon the Cricket a new secondhand adaptation by August Waldauer from George Sand’s story “La Petite Fadette.” Her characterization of the sprite of a heroine which included a graceful and entrancing shadow dance was an immediate sensation. Her Southern tour was cut short by the Civil War and Mitchell took Fanchon to Boston and New York where it was equally successful. Fanchon remained her mainstay for 30 years. Audiences never tired of it—her admirers included the likes of Abraham Lincoln and Ralph Waldo Emerson—and even in her 50s Mitchell retained the winsome elfin appeal that made her so successful. She also early obtained the rights to Fanchon which enabled her to amass a considerable estate. EB. We find one institutional holding of this playbill at the MHS. A rare survivor of this play's northern run. F. A. Searle, Printer, 118 Washington Street unknown books

The theatre was at this time leased by Catherine Sinclair the former wife of the famous actor Edwin Forrest. This performance included a young Edwin Booth a favorite friend of Sinclair in the role of "Luis a soldier of fortune".
