“Pantomime still flourishes at the Olympic. Fox’s last dumb offspring, ‘Hiccory Diccory Dock,’ still possesses sufficient mirthful nonsense to cool with unrestrained laughter the perspiring throngs who nightly flock to this establishment to witness the funny tricks and clownish antics with which it abounds. The Kiralfy troupe of sensational dancers continue to enliven the pantomime with their ‘light fantastic’ manœvres.”
