BULLOCK'S Marionettes

The Maryport Advertiser - March 10, 1882

BULLOCK'S MARIONETTES.    This Company will appear for the first time in the  Maryport Athenaeum next Thursday night, and five following days. This  entertainment has a world wide repute, having earned the greatest laudations  from English and American press. Recently in the free Trade Hall, Manchester,  they appeared for 48 times, and the Examiner and Times, thus eulogised the  entertainment:    "Mr. BULLOCK, with his well travelled Marionettes,  re-opened yesterday a very successful engagement in the Free Trade Hall. At both  morning and evening representations the room was crowded to excess. There are  clever manipulators, and the interest never flags. A strong company supplies the  vocal and instrumental help and the songs and choruses are excellently given,  and the figures suit their actions to the words in the most life like fashion.  The entertainment is both comic and serious, but especially comic. The pantomime  in twelve scenes is well mounted and equally well played, and the  transformations scene forms a very pretty spectacle indeed."    The Evening Mail also thus critically expressed  it's opinion:    "One of the most amusing entertainments in town. We  can testify to the thoroughly excellent character of the performance. Everything  in connection with this exhibition is excellently managed, and holiday makers  would do well to visit."    It will be seen from advertisement also, that the  Aspatrians all have a three days visit from this show on March 13th, 14th, and  15th.
