The irrepressible Pinafore now came on its third Scottish tour, with a completely new batch of performers. One of these, Fred Billington, went on to an extensive career with the company, singing the roles created by Rutland Barrington - Pooh Bah, King Hildebrand, Sergeant Willis, etc. He continued to tour until a few days before his death in 1917.
The second half of the week was devoted to The Sorcerer, and the curtain-raiser every evening was In the Sulks.
Cast from The Comet in the Lamb Collection 253(5), Dundee City Library.
