Mentions “Ralph” for the first time. “Messrs. Hart, Wambold, Riggs, Ralph, in their different acts, songs, dances, &c.”
“The Mammoth Ethiopian Troupe, The Great Pantomime Troupe, The Splendid Ballet Troupe, all that goes to make up The Gigantic Company of the 19th Century.”
Mr. Ralph drops out of ad. “James Wambold, R. Hart, T.G. Riggs, the great Ethiopian trio.”
“There is a capital programme prepared for this week.”
Two ads. Small one says: “WANTED – Three of four first class Dancers, Lady Vocalists, Ethiopian Performers, and Ladies for the Ballet. Apply to . . . MONS. LA THORNE.”
