“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.”
