An advertisement for the Prince of Wales Opera House production of Tom Taylor and Charles Reade's Masks and Faces on 19 November 1868. The evening's entertainments, a benefit for Miss Kate Corcoran, also included a 'grand concert'.
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 Empire reports that attendance at the Prince of Wales Opera House has been 'exceedingly thin' and 'the taste for drama, at the present time, appears to have greatly fallen off'.
The Empire reproduces a column from the Evening News. The column contains advice for writers to the newspaper and warnings about modes of expression that will not be viewed kindly.
