Richard Mansfield in Henry V at English's Opera House
Richard Mansfield’s revival of King Henry V played to a near full English’s Opera House with Indianapolis and state audiences. Mansfield, praised for his towering achievement, drew repeated curtain calls though critics noted his only moderate success in some lines. Supporting players including Kennedy Jackson Wilken Chester Collins and others provided lively comic scenes featuring Pistol and Nym while Finellen’s forced bite of Pistol’s beer helmet drew roaring laughter.
