This could have been a ticket for the Humpty Dumpty Pantomime. Humpty Dumpty at School (Panto), 2/9/1874, Grand Opera House, 10 weeks.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Bryant&#039;s Opera House ticket from were most likely for a Burlesque and &quot;Black Face&quot; Minstrel show which included John Hodges known as &quot;Cool White&quot; and Dave Reed and others, I could be off on this though?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]334454[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]334455[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]334456[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
