In consequence of the death of Princess Alice, the second & third performances of the play, this year the “Phormio” were stopped. This was a great pity as the acting this year was all round exceptionally good. Cuppage as Geta was capital, & Cobby was a very good Phormio. Lowry, Eddis and James, as Demipho,…
