    A Wikipedia entry says Martini Maccomo was attacked by a lion named Wallace during a show in 1869. The lion died 4 years after Maccomo and was bought by Sunderland museum and put on display in 1879.

    Is this the shortest strike in history?

    Belfast Newsletter, Tuesday, March 18, 1913

    WAITERS' TEN MINUTES' STRIKE


    One of the shortest strikes on record occurred last night at the Hotel Cecil, London, where the waiters declined to continue their duties whilst preparations were in progress for a dinner for which seven hundred covers were laid. The demands made by the waiters were similar to those at other London hotels which during the weekend were the scenes of strikes. Within ten minutes the management conceded the union’s demands, the guests attending the dinner being unaware of how narrowly their gathering had escaped being upset.

    A "DRY" DAY.

    Free Staters Cross the Border to Get a Drink.

    THE WEARING OF THE GREEN.

    St. Patrick's Day was fine and dry throughout Ireland, and in The Free State it was "dry" in another sense by reason of the operation of the recent Licensing Act which forbids the opening of public-houses on 17th March. This had the result of causing a roaring trade to be done in the public-houses on the North side of the border, many resident in Free State counties bordering on Ulster coming across to drown their shamrocks.

Sinbad the Sailor aka Tinbad the Tailor

  • John Spooner said:
    The adverts & reviews for this production (in Freeman's Journal) spell it "Sindbad". The part of Sindbad Tinbad was played by Mr. Willie Crackles.

    John Spooner Willie Crackles and Greenleaf Withers! You couldn't make this stuff up...

  • John Spooner said:
    In the Freeman's review on 27 December, the sets and the costumes come in for particular praise. In addition
    Mr J W Volt, as Mrs Sindbad, was mainly instrumental in making the fun of the piece go fast and furious, and Mr. Crackles, whose particular name will enter into the minds and memories of the youth of the city, made the part of Tinbad quite remarkable.
    Also
    The dances are good, and Miss Jessie Noire's Serpentine dance was a feature of the time.
    That last bit has made me feel all peculiar.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    John Spooner Have a sit down and a cuppa, John, and you'll be right as rain! The chorus dancers must have been raging about "the dances are good" - talk about damning with faint praise.
