Quote by Thomas Campbell
The popularity of that baby-faced boy, who possessed not even the elements of a good actor, was a hallucination in the public mind, and a disgrace to our theatrical history.
Summary
This quote dismisses the popularity of a young, seemingly inexperienced actor as being nothing more than a delusion in the public's perception and a shameful blot on the history of theater. It suggests that despite lacking the basic qualities necessary for good acting, the actor's fame was mistakenly bestowed upon him. This critique challenges the perception of the actor's talent and attributes his success to nothing more than a collective illusion.
