‘Era’ review of Maskelyne and Cooke’s Christmas 1895 Egyptian Hall show

This article from the ‘Era’ of 11 January 1896 reports on the show nearly 25 years after Maskelyne first appeared at the Hall. It is a positive review, welcoming the return of the sketch ‘Will, the Witch, and the Watchman’. David Devant, Mr. R.A. Roberts and Mr. Cramer on the orchestraphone also receive good reviews.
