A brief paragraph noting the premiere production of The Sham Catalini in Little Puddleton (Royal Victoria Theatre, Sydney) on 4 May. The critic writes: 'We had a real novelty at the theatre last night, a piece written in the colony.... [it] is a satire upon the rage for encouraging foreign singers, the dialogue is smart, some of the original music (composed by the author) is pretty, and on the whole the piece was successful. The principal character, the mock Catalini, was played by Simmons, who was at times rather too exhuberant. The author is, we understand, a military man'.
