Description The programme, which included with 'Muldoon's Picnic' and an 'exhibition of the Cinematographe,' set 'new records for attendance [and] the character of the performance.' The performance was disturbed by 'the clamour and din raised by a few noisy persons who for a time turned the Cremorne into a bear garden.' New scenery is 'excellently painted' by Mr Con Berthold, 'late of Sydney and now of Coolgardie,'
