AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Jaques comments on the new vocalists who have recently joined the Lyster Opera Troupe and on the troupe's production of Verdi's Ernani. He then reviews the production of W. B. Gill's Which Is Which at the Haymarket Theatre, noting that if 'Mr. Gill will give some attention to farce-writing, and will take local materials to work up, he may both profit himself and amuse the public.'

Jaques also remarks on a musical concert at the Exhibition Hall, at which the principal item in the program was 'Mr. Summers's new cantata, "Galatea Secunda", the words of which have been written by Mr. R. H. H. Horne'; on Grace Egerton's amusments; and on W. M. Akhurst's Tom Tom the Piper's Son, and Mary Mary Quite Contrary ; Or, Harlequin Piggy Wiggy, and the Good Child's History of England at the Theatre Royal.
