Contemporary reviews\nspeak of his complete triumph, and say that sceptical\ncritics are now converted to this as a stage play.\nPhelps used Betterton's version, and revived the play\nagain in London in 1864 and in 1874. In the 1874\nproduction Forbes-Robertson, aged 21, appeared as\nPrince Hal. William Winter records an interesting\nanecdote of the first rehearsal. Phelps, after watch\ning Forbes-Robertson for a time, said: 'Young man,\nI see that you know nothing about this. Come to my\nroom tonight.'\nThe play has been practically unknown on the\nAmerican stage. There were twenty-six revivals of\nPart I in America in the eighteenth century, but\napparently none of Part II. In the nineteenth cen\ntury the American comedian, James H. Hackett,\nplayed the part of Falstaff almost annually from\n1830 to 1870, in both England and America, but it\nwas the Falstaff of Part I and of The Merry Wives.\nIn 1895-1896 Miss Julia Marlowe played the part\nof Prince Hal in an abridged version of the two parts\nof the play; and in 1896-1897 Daly planned a revival\nwhich never got beyond rehearsal. Miss Ada Rehan\nwas to play Prince Hal, and James Lewis, Falstaff.\nThe Delta Psi Dramatic Club of Harvard University\ngave a creditable amateur performance of Part II in\nthe winter of 1915-1916.","text_extracted_at":"2026-01-30T20:54:40.405Z","text_extracted_by":"pdf-processor","text_has_content":true,"text_source":"born_digital","uploaded":true,"width":1118},"relationships":[{"peer":"01KG89K4MQB10V83VB7VGQ9V7D","predicate":"derived_from"},{"peer":"01KG89JREDR8WY5QQGYR5FZRDY","peer_type":"collection","predicate":"collection"}],"ver":2,"created_at":"2026-01-30T20:54:41.315Z","ts":"2026-01-30T20:54:44.134Z","edited_by":{"method":"manual","user_id":"01KFFH6ETXGRVD10WPNP3007D6"}}
