Another musical play, Les Deux Aveugles, followed, in which Sir Henry de Bathe and Du Maurier acted again with Arthur Cecil.
The Punch staff performed in a play by Tom Taylor, entitled The Wolf in Sheep's Clothing, and the cast included the author, Mark Lemon, Tenniel, Shirley Brooks, Kate Terry, and Florence Terry (who took the child's part).
The production was a most artistic one, and attracted a very distinguished audience: everybody of any consequence in the world of art, literature, and the stage, flocked to see Punch behind the footlights.
