A day or two ago, on Tuesday,
Sidney Burchall appeared in one of his regular character parts — as Jimmy Larkin in ' The Pig and Whistle '.

The old spring-cart ; There were two maidens in a grove of roses ; A seaman loves the ocean wave ; and A lilac beside the river bank (Merikanto)

She has sung in opera with the Royal Carl Rosa Opera Company and at Covent Garden and Sadler's Wells, and is equally at home in concert work and oratorio.
