  Thomas Mathews - LoveToKnow 1911
Several of the British captains behaved very badly, and Mathews in a heat of confused anger bore down on the enemy out of his line, while the signal to keep the line was still flying at his mast head.
Then Mathews was tried in 1746, and was condemned to be dismissed the service on the ground that he had not only failed to pursue the enemy but had taken his fleet into action in a confused manner.
Mathews died on the 2nd of October 1751 in London.

 The Adelphi Theatre 1806-1900: The 1834-1835 Season
The final season of Charles Mathews' joint management of the Adelphi Theatre with Frederick Yates opened on 29 September 1834, after considerable redecoration and remodeling of the theatre's interior.
The opening night bill announced that "the audience part of the theatre has been re-painted and re-decorated, a new movable stage constructed, and the stage encreased [sic] to double its former extent." The season ran for 163 nights; a total of 29 plays were presented; the theatre closed on 11 April 1835.
Because Mathews was indisposed during the bulk of the season, Yates had almost complete responsibility for the theatre's management.

 Charles Mathews - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles Mathews (June 28, 1776 - June 28, 1835) was an English theatre manager and comic actor, well-known during his time for his gift for impersonation.
For several years Mathews had to be content with bit parts, but in May 1803 he made his first London appearance at the Haymarket, as Jabel in Cumberland's The Jew and as Lingo in The Agreeable Surprise.
Adelphi was a critical and popular success, but for Mathews not a financial success, so in 1834, he went on a second tour of America.

Mathews, known more for his kinetic one-man "entertainments" than for his performances in legitimate comic drama, may never have intended to perform "A Trip to America" anywhere but in England.
Much conjecture has been put forth in the meantime as to the relevance, importance, and artistic merit of Charles Mathews' "A Trip to America." While it is at times difficult to determine exactly what transpired during the entertainment in question, a close examination of existing evidence suggests an interesting relationship between travel and performance.
By examining the work of Charles Mathews, I hope to launch a discussion of the unique qualities of live performance as a form of travel reporting, the issue of accuracy, and the place in all of this for entertainment itself.
