The single performance of Iolanthe was reserved for the Saturday matinee. Thus the critics would not be expected to attend, so no cast is available - though the allocation of some of the parts is no doubt predictable, with Henry Lytton as Lord Chancellor, Bertha Lewis as the Fary Queen and Nellie Briercliffe as Iolanthe herself.
