Mr. McQuire has provided a really funny pantomime entitled "Little Bo-Peep; or, The Bounding Hound of the Basherbills (with apologise to Sir Conan Doyle)," which is produced by Miss Ada Wallis, who herself plays the name-part. Mr. Mcguire plays Bo-Peep's Father in a manner that appeals directly to the children. There is a large cast, and a considerable chorus. The pantomime is well mounted, and the grand transformation scene painted by Mr. Walter Rayleigh, "The Rose, Shamrock, and Taistle,' is exceptionally well done. There is a comic harlequinade in two scenes in which that bright comedian Mr. Fred Ellis is the clown, and Mr. Will Gay the unfortunate pantaloon.
