The original text
Cherry Bounce by Richard John Raymond ()[], was first performed at Saddlers Wells Theatre in 1821 (some sources say 1823), and became very popular. There appear to have been two adaptations by this title, one by Isaac Pocock (1782-1835)[1] and the other by Tyrone Power (1797-1841)[2].
According to Allardyce Nicholl (19**), the adaptation done by Isaac Pocock was first performed as The Omnibus, or A Convenient Distance in the Lyceum on 225 November 1830 and at Covent Garden on 6 December, 1830. The text published by Duncombe (1831?), Dick 725 and later by Thomas Hailes Lacy (1850) (Lacy’s Acting edition), 1850. His version is also sometimes referred to simply as or simply The Omnibus (and termed "an interlude").
However, according to the 1907 American edition of the play by Samuel French (Minor drama ; no. 26), the adaptation had been done by Tyrone Power, whose version was first performed at the Drury Lane Theatre in 1833.
