 The confusion with the "German dramatization" appears to be thus – "Garrick Médecin" was adapted into another French play entitled "Le Docteur Robin", which became widely known through a German translation.A misunderstanding caused the belief that "Sullivan" was actually based on "Doktor Robin" rather than the two being based on a mutual source, as evidenced in an 1895 article in "The New York Times".Another German play, "Garrick in Bristol", added to the confusion.
