GRAND DENOUEMENT!
In consequence of the great success of the revival of Tom and Jerry at the Victoria Theatre—where it ran nine weeks: Mr. Conquest, of the Grecian, and Mrs. Lane, of the Britannia Theatre, directly afterwards produced a version of the same. A year or two after that Mr. William Holland, of the Surrey Theatre, assisted by Mr. J. A. Cave, also staged it successfully.
In May, 1886, Mr. J. A. Cave re-produced the same at The Elephant and Castle Theatre, which was set forth thus:—

Messrs. Hodson, Smart, West, Marks, Fairburn, Park, Skelt, and other publishers made a rich harvest out of the—“Price 1d. Plain and 2d. Coloured Characters of Tom and Jerry; or, Life in London,” together with miniature stages, and “Book of the Words” for the juvenile home-performing version of the drama.
How delightful the book, and the pictures!
—oh! the pictures are noble still!—was to the youths of England, and how eagerly all its promised feasts of pleasure were devoured by them, Thackeray has told us in his Roundabout Paper, “De Juventure” in the Cornhill Magazine for October, 1860.
Eye Nature’s walk, shoot folly as it flies,
And catch the manners living as they rise.
A man is thirty years old before he has any settled thoughts of his Fortune: and if it is not completed before fifty; he falls a building in his old age, and dies by that time his House is in a condition to be painted and glazed.
