Title Dick Whittington. Pantomime at Grand Opera House
Abstract/Description If the chief purpose of a pantomime is to amuse, "Dick Whittington and His Cat," produced at the Grand Opera House on Saturday succeeded. In order to finish at something after 11 o'clock several scenes had to be cut out. There were some excellent features in the entertainment, notably Mr Hector St Clair's farewell speech in the manner of a great diva, Pique, a French clown's quaint turn, Mr. Fred Moore's singing in the part of the Emperor of Morocco, the Demon King's amazing introduction of a song made familiar elsewhere by Challiapiu, Mr Fled Bluett's skit on a test-match maniac, and an interlude by Miss Ivy Ivel, whose contortions as a frog were perhaps, unique. In addition, Apdale's zoo of monkeys and dogs evoked rounds of applause in very clever feats.
