My first appearance at a Music Hall was in the year one thousand eight hundred and s . Well, I would rather not mention the exact date. I was fourteen at the time. It was during the Christmas holidays, and my aunt had given me five shillings to go and see Phelps I think it was Phelps in Coriolanus I think it was Coriolanus.
