An advertisement for the Royal Victoria Theatre production of Michael Rophino Lacy's Doing for the Best on 11 April 1868. The evening's entertainment also included Mr Barlow's Grand Polyglot Entertainment, an address by William Hoskins 'in honour of Shakespeare's Birthday' and a presentation of Barlow's 'Life in London'.
An advertisement for a supplementary recital by Miss Aitken in support of the Randwick Asylum for Destitute Children and the Sydney Female Refuge. The program for the recital is said to include 'a varied selection of old Sydney Favourite Pieces'.
The Empire praises Miss Aitken for her 'charitable disposition', citing several examples of her generosity during her tour of Sydney and Newcastle, and urges the public to support her 'admirable recitations' prior to her departure from the colony.
The Empire notes the poor attendance at the Royal Victoria Theatre on 26 April 1868, but commends the production of Nine Points of the Law and Mr Barlow's contributions.
