27 92 Success of the famous ' School for Scandal. ' The first piece he contributed to this stage was ' A Trip to Scarborough, ' which was only a species of ' family edition of Vanbrugh's play, ' The Relapse ;' but in 1777 he reached the acme of his fame, in ' The School for Scandal. ' But alack and alas for these sensual days, when it is too much trouble to think, and people go to the play, if they go at all, to feast their eyes and ears, not their minds; can any sensible person believe that if... ' The School for Scandal, ' teeming as it does with wit, satire, and character, finer and truer than in any play produced since the days of Ben Jonson, Massinger, and Marlowe, were set on the boards of the Haymarket at this day, as a new piece by an author of no very high celebrity, it would draw away a single admirer from the flummery in Oxford Street, the squeaking at Covent Garden, or the broad, exagge- rated farce at the Adelphi or Olympic ? No : it may still have its place on the London stage when well acted, but it owes that to its ancient celebrity, and it can never compete with the tinsel and tailoring which alone can make even Shakspeare go down with a modern audience.
