Notwithstanding the inclemency of the season the Wokingham Theatre was on the
evening of Wednesday night crowded to excess, to witness the representation of
SPEED THE PLOUGH, being by the desire and under the patronage of the worthy
Alderman (Mr. Creaker). On which occasion the performers exerted themselves with
their usual ability. The Comic Singing of our old favourite Mr. Morgan is too well
appreciated to need comment, and the plaintive songs of Mrs. Randolph gave general
satisfaction. The Farce of NO SONG NO SUPPER followed, on which the audience
bestowed their well merited applause, and departed highly gratified with the evening’s
entertainment. The spirited Manager has since the commencement of the season
produced several new pieces, and has others in reserve, for quick representation, one
of which is the celebrated piece of Black-eyed Susan, which is now performing at the
Surrey Theatre, and has been running upwards of 170 nights. We sincerely hope that
his exertions will meet with that encouragement his merits so well deserve.
