| Description |
King Hedley gave a "powerful interpretation" of The Confession Scene from Dean Maitland. He gave an "exceedingly funny story of the Hibernian genus" as an encore. Regina Nagel, who has previously sung at Perth's Cremorne Gardens, sang Ben Bolt', her "voice and methods coming as a revelation". |
