“Lingard, the original ‘Captain Jinks,’ continues his comical personal sketches at the bijou Theatre Comique. Although the season at Long Branch is near its close, still the facetious mimic transports his audience nightly to the sandy ‘beach’ where he ‘feeds his horse on corn and beans.’ ‘All that Glitters is not Gold’ is announced for every night during the week.”

Maurice Pike appeared as Frederick Plum, McKee Rankin as Stephen and Alice Dunning as Martha. Mr. Edward Ward attempted to play the part of Sir Arthur.”
