During the summer the male toads stay in the water, and their peculiar note can be frequently heard. Nearly allied to the ordinary variety, is the solitary toad, which is seldom seen because it generally remains hidden under ground during the day time and only ventures out at night...

The leading roles will be assumed by Harry Conor, the original Well and Strong; Geraldine McCann, who will appear as the dashing young widow; Harry Gilfoil, the famous whistling soloist, who takes the part of the waiter, and George Richards, who will be seen...
