An update on the refurbishing of the 'stage, machinery,&c.' including a 'new drop scene' (painted by 'Messrs. Fitchett and Strong') at the Royal Victoria Theatre in Sydney. The writer (William Kerr?) discusses new appointments including the 'general management' of John Lazar 'who ... is not to play unless on extraordinary occasions', and the engagement of Joseph Simmons and John Meredith - 'the former to act as stage manager'. The column also reports that Joseph Wyatt, the proprietor, 'is in treaty with Mr. Knowles [Conrad Knowles]' and that 'should Mr. Holt succeed in ousting Mr Wyatt from possession of the old Theatre Royal [Theatre Royal, Sydney] ... an opposition Theatre will ... be opened.'
