Harry Burnham (1851), a play by James Pilgrim. [National Theatre, 18 perf.] Harry Burnham ( Harry
Watkins) rouses his fellow Yale students against the British. He joins the Revolutionary army, is wounded and captured, but escapes. At the Battle of Trenton he replaces the British flag with an American one and is hailed as a hero. Typical of the melodramatic patriotic spectacles that appeared in the wake of the Mexican‐American war, the story was dramatized from a novel then being serialized in a newspaper and featured George Washington as an important character.
James PILGRIM (1825–77) was a minor English‐born actor but a prolific playwright, dashing off numerous once‐popular plays, many of which dealt with Irish themes or Irish heroes and heroines. Among his other works were
Ireland and America (1851),
Robert Emmet (1853),
Irish Assurance and Yankee Modesty (1853), and
Katy O'Shiel (1857).
