"THE STORY OF WATERLOO." — One more success for our premier histrion; another feather in the cap — pardon the expression — of [[Arthur Conan Doyle|Dr. Conan Doyle]]. The versatile creator of [[Sherlock Holmes]] has once again demonstrated his all-round ability. For "[[A Story of Waterloo|The Story of Waterloo]]," as told to a delighted audience in the Princes Theatre, Bristol, on Friday, is a drama in miniature — a drama of humour and pathos, and withal subtle strength and power of real characterisation. [[Henry Irving]] realised the conception of the dramatist. His part of the old Waterloo veteran in his second childhood is worthy to rank with the performances of such masters as Lafont and Lesueuer. There is the aged dotard, babbling of the great battle, yet the spectator does not forget, so consummate is the art of the actor, that this is the man, the hero, Corporal Gregory Brewster, whose name associated with one of the most thrilling incidents in the defence of Hugoumont, on which so much depended. [[Annie Hughes|Miss Annie Hughes]], the tender little waiting maid, Mr. [[Fuller Mellish]], and [[Mr. Haviland]] performed their respective parts with perfect loyalty.

Sketched at the production of [[Arthur Conan Doyle|Dr. Conan Doyle]]'s new Play, "[[A Story of Waterloo]]," at Bristol.
