“Guy, the celebrated baritone and actor . . . Friends of ‘Hectate’ and ‘Old Sir Laurence Paragon’ must be early to secure a seat. Do you wish to hear . . . the Macbeth music – as well as those sweet operatic selections on the cornet by Mr. Robert Smith.”
COMMENT: “Hectate” is one of the witches in Macbeth. “Sir Laurence Paragon” was a character in the farce Perfection; or, The Lady of Munster by Thomas Haynes Bayly (1797-1839). Information on Paragon from http://www.emich.edu/public/english/adelphi_calendar/m60s.htm. Bayly’s full name and dates from WorldCat.
