Balfe’s Geraldine staged with English cast at Drury Lane

Balfe’s Geraldine, an English opera adapted from Paris, drew a full house with Allen and Barker delivering strong performances. Madame Garcia impressed as Geraldine, Miss Turpin provided grace, and the staging and choruses under W. L. Phillips showed broad liberal scale. The piece ended with cheers for a repeat performance though Balfe could not attend. A separate Rotunda Hamlet hoax spoiled by crowd uproar. An extraordinary accident at Osbaldiston’s Balham Hill residence involved the ceiling collapse, injuring none. A Glasgow benefit for Etton’s children raised over 60 pounds at the Trades Hall.
