The Sentinels. A Play in Two Acts: 42 pages, dates not examined
First performed at the Walnut Street Theatre, Philadelphia, December 21, 1829. "A better [than Smith's own Wife at a Venture] adaptation from the French was The Sentinels, or The Two Sergeants, played in December 1829 at the Walnut Street Theatre. The play deserved its apparent success, for it is well constructed, the conversation is lively and, while the audience knows perfectly well that all must end happily, the sympathy is so well evoked for the two friends that a real interest is maintained." The Pennsylvania Historical Society has a manuscript in a later hand.
