An advertisement for the Royal Victoria Theatre production of John Oxenford's East Lynne and T. Haynes Bayly's The Swiss Cottage on 23 and 24 July 1868.
An advertisement, probably placed by Samuel Bennett (sole proprietor, printer and publisher of the Empire), for the sale of a single cylinder printing machine. The sale is being offered 'to make room for a new machine daily expected from England'.
The writer for the Empire praises the 23 July 1868 Royal Victoria Theatre productions of John Oxenford's East Lynne and Thomas Haynes Bayly's The Swiss Cottage, and hopes that the public are 'alive to the great claims which the present lessee of the Victoria [William Hoskins] has upon them, in the unceasing efforts he has made and continues to make to place good plays upon the stage in an efficient style'.
George Atkinson is fearful that Australians will let the name of Dr William Bland 'sink into oblivion'. He hopes this will not be the case.
