An opera of the same name, with music by Bishop, was produced at Covent Garden, February 24, 1814 (cf. Genest and Theat, inquisitor) A still earlier (?) adaptation by M.M. Noah, "Paul and Alexis or The orphans of the Rhine," was acted at Charleston, S.C., in in 1812, later altered (?) and printed at Boston, 1821, under title "The wandering boys; or The castle of Olival." The Brit. mus. Catalogue ascribes a play of the latter name in Lacy's acting drama to John Kerr. (cf. also L.C. Baker, German drama in Eng. on the N.Y. Stage, p. 96)
