192 He was meretricious without coarseness. The varied workings of his imagination, from the first engendering of his curiosity, to the voluptuous burst of, "Talk of a coronation!" was an instance of a conception as perfect, and of execution as fitly managed, as Garrick himself could exhibit in the zenith of his fame, when his powers triumphed over all competition. For many joyous seasons at the Little Theatre in the Haymarket was " Peeping Tom" a standing dish of mirth. Every contemporary play-goer must have seen Bannister, and heard him sing "The little farthing Rushlight," that he was wont to introduce and chaunt with such unapproachable humour. Harley displays much of his great master's whim. Without Bannister, we might perchance have had a dash of Harley-but not the identical Jack, who so often reminds us of his never-tobe-forgotten original. We have to record the death of that dramatic Patriarch, John O'Keeffe, who died on Monday, February 4, 1833, at Bedford Cottage, Southampton, in the 86th year of his age. fan unwillin D.-G. Costume.
