AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Our Letter Home' includes information on a range of political and social matters. Included among the latter is a report on Melbourne theatrical and musical offerings for the previous month. The column notes the closure 'for an indefinite period' of the Duke of Edinburgh Theatre (aka the Haymarket Theatre) stating that it has 'struggled bravely against difficulties, and deserves both compliment and sympathy for the endeavours [it has] made to keep the house open'. The Theatre Royal, whose company is presently touring Ballarat, will 're-open for regular business in about a fortnight'.
