AbstractHistoryArchive Description

The Empire reports on the 'good audience' who attended the Gourlays' performance on 5 September 1868 at the Royal Victoria Theatre. The evening's entertainment included 'Mrs M'Gregor's Levee', two farces (The Rights of Woman and The Wandering Minstrel), and a scene from Walter Scott's Heart of Midlothian.

Notes

  • It is not clear from this column whether the excerpt performed from Heart of Midlothian was directly from Walter Scott's novel or from one of the Heart of Midlothian stage adaptations.
