A scene in a bank: actor John Liston as the comic character Paul Pry, quizzing glass raised to his eyes, stands at the desk of a red-faced banker (left) who sits with quill pen in hand, another behind his ear, lower lip jutting out as he glares at his customer. A second customer enters the door of the bank (right) with papers in-hand. Paul Pry is a character from a John Poole farce of the same name. Pry is characterized as a man consumed with curiosity, a busybody unable to mind his own business. Pry wears striped trousers, hessian boots, tail coat and top hat, and carries an umbrella that he leaves behind so that he would have an excuse to return and eavesdrop

"Kean, in the costume of Sir Giles Overreach, stands on the stage, indicated by a boarded floor surrounded by flame and smoke from the jaws of a semicircle of ferocious monsters, serpentine, scaly, and fanged, and with glaring eyeballs. The largest and most menacing is the Old Times, emitting Gall, Spite Venon [sic] Hypocricy. Towards this Kean directs his levelled rapier, saying, By the powers of Shakspeare, I defy ye all. He holds above his head a large open book: Shakspeare, which is irradiated. Almost as large as the 'Times' is the pendant to it: New Times, vomiting Hypocricy. The other monsters are not specified, they spit flames inscribed respectively: Spleen; Cant; Malignity; Slander; Spite; Envy; Malice; Nonsence; Oblique."--British Museum catalogue and A comment on the backlash in the press regarding the Cox vs. Kean trial, in which Kean was accused of adultery with Robert Albion Cox's wife, Charlotte Cox. Kean gave a speech at Drury Lane, Jan. 28 1825, in which he offered himself up to the audience: "If it [the backlash] is done by a hostile Press, I shall endeavour to withstand it -- if it is your verdict, I shall bow to your decision, remember with gratitude your former favours, and leave you" (quotation from the British Museum catalogue).
