AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Buggins comments on the death, in Paris, of American actress and poet Adah Isaacs Menken, and notes the first appearance of Madame Anna Bishop at Sydney's Prince of Wales Opera House.

He then continues: 'There has been very little novelty in the dramatic portion of the entertainments ... We have had Planche's Faint Heart Never Won a Fair Lady which is not one of the most brilliant of his productions ... Then we had The Handsome Husband ... and one or two farces.'
