MARTINUZZI.
BY GEORGE STEPHENS, ESQ.
Taken by him from his "magnificent" Dramatic Poem, entitled, _The Hungarian
Daughter_.
The Solos, Duets, Chorusses, and every other Musical arrangement the _Law_
may require, by Mr. DAVID LEE.
The following Opinions of the Press on the Actable qualities of the
Dramatic Poem, are selected from a vast mass of similar notices.
"Worthy of _the Stage_ in its best days."--The Courier.
"Effective situations; if well acted, it _could not fail of
success_."--_New Bell's Messenger_.
"The mantle of the Elizabethan Poets seems to have fallen on Mr. Stephens,
for we have scarcely ever met with, in the works of modern dramatists, the
truthful delineations of human passion, the chaste and splendid imagery,
and continuous strain of fine poetry to be found in _The Hungarian
Daughter_."--_Cambridge Journal_.
"Equal to Goethe. All is impassioned and effective. The Poet has availed
himself of every tragic point, and brought together every element; nor,
with the exception, of Mr. Knowles's _Love_, has there been a single Drama,
within the last four years, presented on _the Stage_ at all
comparable."--_Monthly Magazine_.
After which will be performed, also for the First Time, An Original
Entertainment in One Act, Entitled
THE CLOAK AND THE BONNET!
By the Author of _Jacob Faithful_, _Peter Simple_, _&c. &c._
No Orders admitted.--No Free List, the Public Press excepted.
