The Theatre Novelties at Leonora Pulse
A Saturday program featured a young Lady in Leonora in the Pulse and a new Farce titled The Trisu Man ix Spatnn. The Leonora performer showed little vocal power while Davies retained lead in Munco Bannnnster. Don Dizco remained respectable. The Farce, once billed as She would be a Duchess, offered low wit and vulgar humor, with audience patience waning as political and constitutional jibes arose.

Unsuccessful Farce Altered to Irishman in Spain
A stage farce was renamed from She would be a Duchess to the Irishman in Spain after General Gunning censored it. The author’s lines were trimmed to avoid references to a daughter’s affairs, including marriage and diaries, provoking audience backlash as the script was mangled and finally rejected by the audience for the implied political jab.
