H. Bayly, entitled " The Swiss Cottage." Evident pains had been bestowed upon rehearsal, and Mr. H. S. RiddeH, the stage-manager, is to be complimented on the successful result of his superintendence. Colonel Ouchterlony, wondrous as to attire and make- up, was an excellent Ginger, and created much laughter. But the most noteworthy feature of the evening was the acting of Miss Edith Gellibrand. This young lady is one of the best amateurs we have seen for a long time ; not only does she possess the natural advantages of a pretty face and sympathetic voice, but she knows how to move on the stage with freedom and grace ; both as Helen Gaythorne in the comedy, and as Lisette in the after-piece, she acted charmingly and looked lovely. Miss Lina Gellibrand was thoroughly satisfactory as Lilian Gaythorne, and she and her sister, Miss Edith Gellibrand, may be said to have divided the honours of the evening between them. Conspicuous in the company was Mr. Claude Ponsonby, of whom I have often had occasion to speak so favourably. He is one of the best light comedians I have seen on the amateur stage for many a long year. The theatre was crowded with an appreciative audience. 1887 Mar 24.
