The author of this farce wrote mainly comedy often in the form of theatrical farce. This is a one-act play first staged at the Theatre Royal Haymarket, London in 1851. There are six characters in the play: four men and two women. In the unchanged manner of true farce, there are enough exits and entrances to easily cause confusion, and enough silly scenarios to make us laugh.

In his day, theater actor and manager Jack Langrishe (1825-1895) was about as well known in the West as General Grant was in the East. Langrishe provided entertainment to prospectors, miners and their families in Colorado, Montana, South Dakota and Idaho. He followed the expanding frontier from the old Northwest Territory to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, and enjoyed his share of luck--he was out of town during the 1871 Chicago Fire, and was traveling through Indian territory at the same time Custer's command was being wiped out a day's ride away. Best known as a gifted comic actor and producer of fine dramas, Langrishe also edited newspapers, was an Idaho state senator and served as a justice of the peace. Here for the first time is the complete story of the father of theater in the West.
