St. James's Theatre - The Amateurs - Kitely (Mr. Foster), 1845. Creator: Unknown

St. James's Theatre - The Amateurs - Kitely (Mr. Foster), 1845. London stage production starring amateur actors in two plays: Ben Jonson's "Every Man in his Humour", and the farce "A Good Night's Rest", an adaptation of "Passe Minuit". British writer John Foster as Kitely. Mr. Foster is connected with the "Examiner" newspaper, and is the author of a work called "The Lives of Eminent Statesmen."...Mr. Foster's Kitely, though too much in the manner of Macready, was most intelligent, and marked, admirably, the passing suspicions, and quick-coming doubts of that most moon-stricken of jealous husbands'. From "Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII
