Foote Puppet-Show Satire Draws Barristers and Punch
Saturday noon at Haymarket Mr Foot opened to a large genteel audience for a revival of the Primitive Puppet-then. The Handsirae, Hoxfemaid, or Pity in Pattens featured new songs sung by two puppets and drew sharp satire on modern sentiments. Punch imitates actors and mocks a literary club that polices genius, drawing strong applause for its barbed humor and a final plea on whether Punch and Foote should both perform again.
