“…crowded last night with admirers… We’re sorry to miss at this favorite resort the sprightly Mrs. Sedley Brown, who has hitherto proved one of its chief attractions.” No mention of music.

“‘The Merchant of Venice’ preserved and ‘Too Much for Good Nature,’ on the 11th, 12th and 18th inst. And the balance of the week, ‘Alladin’ and the ‘Widow’s Victim,’ are played. Mrs. Sedley Brown has severed her connection with this establishment, and Blanche Chapman plays her line of business.” [NB. Only paper that indicates that the program changes throughout the week.]
