Description | An olio was interposed between the two acts of Andrew Halliday's comedy Checkmate. James Wilkinson "claims first attention for his capable performance as Sam Winkie". Amy Johns was "a very valuable assistant in the principal comedy scenes". Priscilla Verne "was as much appreciated as ever in the Olio". Denis Carney "contributed good items" and Professor Stewart "introduced several new figures". | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
