The wonderful picture, given in "Nickleby," of the Portsmouth playhouse, with all its characters and accessories and inner life, shows the most intimate familiarity with all the ways and fashions of the old Provincial Theatre. Every touch Crummles, Folair, Lenville, Snivelicci proves clearly that he knew perfectly the life behind the scenes, and that he wrote of it con amore.
This alone would show that the Rochester and Portsmouth Theatres were the same, while the beautiful young lady in the white apron performed the same sort of characters that Miss Bravassa, or Miss Snivelicci did. And in this connection may be supplied a further speculation which is interesting.
