“On Monday evening next the Waverley will wheel into line with the theatres that offer the legitimate drama. The ‘Old Curiosity Shop’—Brougham’s version—will be brought out then, with Mr. Coleman as Quilp, Miss Rosalie Jack as Little Nell, and otherwise an equally effective cast. The fortunes of the Waverley ought thenceforth to brighten, and we trust they will.”
Advertises Dickens’s Old curiosity shop rather than Brougham’s Little Nell.
“The Waverley Theatre commences a brief summer season this evening under the management of Edward Coleman and George Brookes, who produce the drama of ‘Old Curiostiy Shop,’ introducing Mr. Coleman as Quilp, George Brookes as Dick Swiveller and Rosalie Jack as Little Nell, in addition to other professionals.”
