[unclear: The] Fresh Food and Ice Company [unclear: h] us again on this page, this [unclear: extolling] the virtues of their [unclear: e] Table Poultry! Happy days! [unclear: le] paying good money to the [unclear: ing] Book Committee to advertise [unclear: for] sale!
[unclear: n] the farce disappears from the [unclear: the] until 1906, when it again makes [unclear: appearance] as a two night stand.

Commissioner:

(Hey, billow, baily oh!)
Sailor:
Split my bowsprit, yes mum. I was of that crew!
(Hey but I'm salty, billow, billow baily!)
Me and Cook was pals, mum, just as thick as glue;
(Hey billow, baily oh!)
You should see the gals, mum, smiling at us pals, mum,
(Hey billow, baily, oh!)
Etc., Etc.
(Apparently the Fresh Food and Ice Co. have found other methods of bringing their goods before the public as Myrtle Grove Cigarettes appear to have taken their place on the front cover.)

Harem Skirt Girl | L. P. Leary |

In 1911 another change has taken place. The Extravaganza (yes, it really was called an Extrav that year) has moved to the Concert Chamber of the Town Hall (Heaven help the stage manager). Also the odd types which haunt the back-stage are appearing—the properties manager and the stage manager.
Now, strangely enough, in 1912. Part 1 of the early programmes is resurrected and again we are entertained with violin solos, glees and the rest. The main show was "Wumpty Dumpty" with a distinguished cast featuring Messrs. Caddick, Hall-Jones and Sievwright.
