Recollections of O. Smith

Edited by Mary C. Henderson
with the assistance of Wendy Warnken
William W. Appleton, guest editor
(1979)

Contents

This volume is devoted in its entirety to the manuscript of a 19th century English Actor, O. Smith... its descriptions of famous 19th century figures [offer] insights into a fascinating and lively era in theatrical history. Richard John Smith, better known as O. Smith, has aptly been called the Boris Karloff of the nineteenth century. Tall, gaunt, with a sepulchral voice, he made his reputation playing demons, devils, monsters, and assassins... Atrocities were his ordinary occupation. As Jonathan Wild in Jack Sheppard he hacked the fingers from the hand of Trenchard, his accomplice, sending that nobleman plunging to his doom to the accompaniment of the famous tag line, "You have a long journey before you, Sir Roland."
