The New Theatre, single work column

The Sydney Monitor reports on the opening night at Joseph Wyatt's Victoria Theatre. The report includes a detailed description of the interior of the theatre.

The Monitor sums up its coverage by saying: 'New South Wales is fifty years old as a colony. Look at her Churches, Schools, and Theatre; her Ships and her Commerce; and it must be allowed, she has made a prodigious advance from a wild uninhabited forest, to a community of intelligent men, where skill in the arts, and sciences, and useful literature, flourish as much as they do in England, in proportion to the paucity of our population.'
