TO THE EDITOR OF THE AGFJ.
Sir,— Theatrical ' rerniniecences pubhshed
in your Saturday's issue of "Tlie Age ' are
a delight to me. 1 saw Jenny Lee as
the crossing sweeper Jo. 1 was a child
at thq time, but I could never forget her,
she impressed tne so. When the |i»ly
walked on to the flta?;e in deep mourning
and said, "Do you know if the grave was
ever blessed ?" Jo, passing a hand acros?«
his ryes to hide, the tears, said, '1 m
blewed if 1 know." #
My parents rarely faded in taking tin
to the pantomimes. I remember Gmde-
rella, nnd J. R. Greville in the parto:
one of Cinderella's sisters. Tlie benutuul
'rnTisformntion Fceres were n joy to pee.
I remember when the curt-nns drawn
un on one of the scenes my sister snid,
"Oh. dad. do you think heaven could be
better than that place ? _ .
I paw J. Sherid«m as AYidow O'Brien tn
Fun on the Bristol. A duet was sung jn
it. "I propose to make a book on the
topics of the day. M ill yon do it . Like
n bird, so will T." Some of your rcadens
mnv know it. It was funny.
There has been no reference to Andrew
Mack. I hnd the pleasure of filing him
the firat night in Tom Moor. He was a
good actor nnd hail a clear voice. The plaj
was natural and well performed. 1 wi$n
I could see it again. .
I have seen neany nil the operas. i
Tftw the Si-n of the Org and pnw
Maude JcfTries as Lyrria in Quo v fldis.
My sincere tlianks to "The Age for be-
inr. #i»o mosiia ,nf revivinc so many n.ea
sant memories.-Yours, &e., C.J.R.
West Brunswick.
