Barney Williams an opportunity of displaying her versatility by appearing in eight characters . 8 he sings and dances as well as she performs . What more need be said ? At the Olympic a new farce by Mr . Morton has been produced , entitled " Ticklish Times , " in which Mr . Bobson has one of those peculiar characters m trusted to him that could not do otherwise than insure success .
