William Rawlins, afterwards See also:sheriff of London. He summoned his second See also:master unsuccessfully for rough treatment; and after a few years of service he ran away to join a See also:company of See also:country players. From 1789 to 1795 he played in all sorts of parts; he acted as See also:scene painter at See also:Liverpool in 1791; and during this See also:period he composed more than See also:i000 songs. He made his first See also:attempt as a dramatic writer in Something New, followed by The Mad See also:Guardian in 1795. He returned to London in 1795, having married two years before; and in the See also:winter of 1798–1799 his See also:Jew and the See also:Doctor was produced at Covent See also:Garden.

time he contributed a very large number of comedies, operas, farces, &c., to the public entertainment. Some of these brought immense popularity to the writer and immense profits to the theatres. It is stated that the See also:pantomime of See also:Mother See also:Goose (1807) produced more than £20,000 for the management at Covent Garden See also:theatre, and the High-mettled Racer, adapted as a pantomime from his See also:father's See also:play, £18,000 at See also:Astley's. Dibdin was prompter and pantomime writer at See also:Drury See also:Lane until 1816, when he took the See also:Surrey theatre. This venture proved disastrous and he became bankrupt. After this he was manager of the Haymarket, but without his old success, and his last years were passed in See also:comparative poverty. In 1827 he published two volumes of Reminiscences; and at the time of his See also:death he was preparing an edition of his father's See also:sea songs, for which a small sum was allowed him weekly by the lords of the See also:admiralty. Of his own songs " The See also:Oak Table " and " The Snug Little See also:Island " are well-known examples. He died in London on the 16th of See also:September 1841.
