The smart dialogue of Mr. J. M. Morton, and the

strong humour of Mr. Keeley, give force and fulness to a little farce called Your Life's in Danger; which without such colouring would be extremely weak, as it simply turns on the perils of an humble individual who is taken for a political criminal, and those perils are not of a very striking character. No one can turn a weak French piece into a strong English one with more tact than Mr. J. M. Morton.
