The writer of this prose piece goes 'in search of an hour's entertainment' in Sydney and finds himself in a theatre where the audience 'is composed entirely of the male sex' and where drinks are regularly plied by attentive waiters. The writer describes, in some detail, the interior of the theatre and the musical items presented. He concludes: 'There being an intermission of some minutes, we left, having accomplished our task and obtained an hour's amusement.' (Neither the venue nor the exact location of this 'amusement' is provided in the article.)
