Scene from "False Shame", at the Globe Theatre, 1872. London stage production. 'The new drama by Mr. Frank Marshall, now performing at the Globe Theatre, deserves the popularity with which it is likely to meet. Our Illustration presents the striking situation which closes the first act, where the villainous Ernest Bragleigh exhibits in his arms the romantic heroine whom he pretends to have preserved; but who, in reality, had been rescued by Lord Chilton. The characters of the lady and her false admirer are ably supported by Mr. J. Billington and Miss Rose Massey. Others of the pleasure party enter at the moment - namely, Percy Gray (Mr. C. Neville), Mrs. Howard (Miss Larkin), and Constance Howard (Miss Carlotta Addison), and manifest their surprise and sympathy. The tableau is certainly effective'. From "Illustrated London News", 1872.
