Mr James Anderson left Ballarat by the 8.30 a.m. train for Melbourne. From there, accompanied by fellow actors Mr and Mrs Robert Heir, he will proceed to Sydney to appear there on Wednesday night. The Ballarat theatre will reopen in a fortnight with a performance by Madame Celeste and company, who will perform a 'round of characters'.
A laudatory and detailed review of Mr Anderson's performance as King Lear. The supporting actors receive a brief favourable mention, except for Miss A. Wiseman. Although acknowledging her talent, the reviewer believes Shakespearian characters are beyond Miss Wiseman's capabilities.
