Description "Under the Gas Pipe, a piece evidently adapted from the sensational drama The Pointsman, is always welcome, and W.B. Warner gives a very faithful delineation of The Booser. Daisy Chard, in her famous whistling song, has a style perfectly her own, and her thrilling notes resemble the nightingale superlatively."
