A sketch, ‘A Daughter of Bachus.’ Man and woman in an act depicting drunken husband situation which the wife resolves to remedy by acting the part of a drunken woman herself, and shaming her husband into a pledge of sobriety. Drunkness is a dangerous theme for this house, and in the hands of people not very skillful, liable to give more offence than pleasure. Filson, however, did not overstep the bounds in action at all, and in speech only in two instances, both of which were cut. (‘Don’t care a damn.’ ‘How the devil will I get up.’) Lines very witty, and much laughter greeted their best hits. The climax, and moral ought to suit any temperance advocate. Starts with a prejudice, but overcomes it. 20 mins. New Green 3 set door. R & L. 3.
