CINDERELLA AT THE LONDON HIPPODROME

... CINDERELLA AT THE LONDON HIPPODROME. THIS Cinderella may be described as bright and jolly-- speaking relatively of course, for no dark and miserable pantomime ever survived the groans of the gods, so that all pantomimes are reasonably bright and jolly ...

MUSIC of the Week
