Falstaff is rebuked, but is not\nsent to the Fleet, and the play concludes with an\nabridgment of the first Act of Henry V.\nBetterton had the good taste not to tamper with\nShakespeare's wording to any great extent.\nOn December 17, 1720, at Drury Lane, the play\nwas revived again. It was acted five nights succes\nsively and once afterwards. It was in this revival\nthat Gibber first appeared as Justice Shallow and\nmade 'one of the great successes of the day.' Mills\nwas Falstaff, and Wilks the Prince. Eleven years\nlater (1731) came another Drury Lane revival, with\nMills as the Prince, Harper as Falstaff, and Gibber\nstill playing Shallow. Five years later (1736) the\nsame company, with the exception of Harper, pro\nduced the play again at Drury Lane for the benefit\nof the great Quin, who played Falstaff. In 1744\nand 1749 there were revivals at the Covent Garden\nTheatre, Quin again playing Falstaff.\nA performance at Drury Lane in 1758 was made\nnotable by Garrick's first appearance in the role of\nthe King. He had appeared as Hotspur in Part I\ntwelve years before, but had not achieved great suc\ncess in that role. As the King in Part II 'his figure\ndid not assist him, but the forcible expression of his\ncountenance, and his energy of utterance, made ample\namends for the defect of person.'","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":"2026-01-30T20:54:41.988Z","ts":"2026-01-30T20:54:44.105Z","edited_by":{"method":"manual","user_id":"01KFFH6ETXGRVD10WPNP3007D6"}}
