Description "James Wilkinson and Amy Johns succeeded in Jim Rags. Mr J. Ivory suitably costumed, gave a clog dance. Mr W. B. Warner, versatile low comedian, was as popular as ever. Messrs. Cowan and Carney, as a pair of rollicking Irishmen, with song and dance and a good deal of stage business, extracted much laughter."
