Its success, it was said, was owed to the performance of Charles Mathews in the character "Dick Cypher". In 1815 Mathews appeared also in Pocock's "Mr. Farce-Writer" at the Covent Garden Theatre. "Twenty Years Ago", a melodramatic entertainment, was performed at the Lyceum Theatre in 1810. "Anything New", with overture and music by Charles Smith, was given on 1 July 1811, but the "Green-eyed Monster", produced on 14 October with William Dowton, William Oxberry, and Miss Mellon in the cast, was harshly reviewed. Nevertheless, it was revived at Drury Lane in 1828, when William Farren and Ellen Tree played in it. The music was composed by Thomas Welsh. Shown the next season was a burletta by Pocock called ""Harry Le Roy"". Pocock's "Miller and his Men", a popular romantic melodrama with music by Henry Bishop, was still playing in 1835. "For England Ho!", a melodramatic opera, produced at Covent Garden on 15 December 1813, and acted some 11 times, was published in 1814. "John of Paris", a comic opera adapted from the French, was produced at Covent Garden on 12 October 1814, and performed 17 times. Liston played an innkeeper. When revived at the Haymarket in 1826, Lucia Elizabeth Vestris was in the cast. It was again played at Covent Garden in 1835. "Zembuca, or the Net-maker", first given at Covent Garden, as "a holiday piece" on 27 March 1815, was played 28 times. The "Magpie or the Maid" (John Miller, 1815), a drama in three acts, a second edition of which appeared in 1816, was adapted from the French of Louis-Charles Caigniez and Théodore Baudouin d'Aubigny. It was first printed in 1814. ""Robinson Crusoe, or the Bold Buccaneers"", a romantic drama in two acts, was produced as an Easter piece at Covent Garden in 1817, with Charles Farley in the title rôle and Joseph Grimaldi as Friday. It was published, with remarks by George Daniel, and printed in Lacy's and Dick's "Collections". It was revived in 1826. Pocock later adapted some of the Waverley novels as operatic dramas. On 12 March 1818 his "Rob Roy Macgregor, or Auld Lang Syne", an operatic drama in three acts, was first played at Covent Garden.
