text excerpt

My next musical production at Drury Lane, was "Cinderella ; or, the 
Glass Slipper." The piece was written by a Mr. James ; the story was well 
told in action, and the poetry of the songs appropriate. I was rather fortunate 
in composing the music. The scenery, machinery, and decorations, were profusely 
splendid ; and nothing could surpass the fine acting of Miss Decamp, as 
Cinderella. It was produced in January 1804, and performed, daring its first 
season, fifty-one nights.
