The Daily Telegraph on the next Drury Lane melodrama:—
"We are able to say on the very best authority that the idea at the root of the story is of a quite unusual nature; indeed, if secrecy were not for the moment imposed, one might even go a step further and declare it to be of startling originality."
As it is, one doesn't; for if once the secret got about that the play was to be original there would be riots in Fleet Street.
"Song, 'March of the Men of Garlick' (Tune, Welsh melody)."
Ripon Observer.
A pardonable mistake. The national emblem is of course the leek.
