Date of the Play

I don't think that a date of 1897 is correct for this drama. Trove contains a mention of the play, as being performed in Bendigo, in THE BENDIGO INDEPENDENT of 23 October 1894. There is no mention of the play in Austlit. I can see that I'll have to consult a couple of references about the Australian theatre from this period. But any further details from anyone would be appreciated. Perry Middlemiss (talk) 22:57, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Notability

The flag regarding "notability" of this play idicates a need for secodary sources and references independent of the original source material. There are multiple newspaper reviews listed which I believe verifies its notability. Dampier was a major player on the Australian stage at the end of the 19th century.

I will therefore remove the "notability" flag. Perry Middlemiss (talk) 22:07, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
