Katoomba Amusements Company Public Notices

The Katoomba Amusements Company's first Animated Pictorial 'The Hat' will be projected onto the screen at King's Theatre, Katoomba St. from the 1st of May till the 31st of May, 1911 with a gala performance by the players on the First.

The players for the Animated Pictorial are shown in this theatre poster (a larger version of this poster may be found down below [about 30 fathoms below actually]), and are, from left to right: Dr. Yorrick, Miss. Isabel V. Franklin, Col. Reginald Farquhear, Mr. Henry Hedgewick, Miss. Leonora Godaire and Mr. Harry Filletts.

This the 1st edition of 'The Travels of Col. R. Farquhear 1886-1911'. Copies may be purchased through the Vale of Clwydd Bookstore in Lithgow, Miss. Honeybunny's Books and Stationery store in Leura and via the tradesmen's entrance of Hedgewick's Emporium in Katoomba.

(A quote from the author) "Spiffing workmanship by Bleckinsopp, Murgatroyd and Hockleberry, Publishers At Large!..........and they certainly are, they still haven't paid me my royalties, the blaggards!!!"

Professor Hedgewick and Doctor Yorrick wish it to be announced that they will be holding a Grand Invention Exposition in the grounds of The Carrington Hotel, Katoomba during June moving to the Lithgow Sports Field in July. All of a sound health and mind are welcome, especially as the participants may not be totally of a sound mind!!

Time for a soothing gin and tonic we feel, and perhaps a plate full of Miss. Leonora's delicious lamingtons.

For all those foreign fellows who've never experienced a lamington, it is basically a small cube of sponge cake with a layer of raspberry jam in the centre, dipped in chocolate and sprinkled all over with shredded coconut.

Absolutely delectable,.....if you're that way inclined.

Well, I think it's time to retire to my favourite cane peacock chair on the verandah and watch the world go by....slowly! C'est la vie!!!

Doctor Yorrick's Homemade Appelgebak

Yum!! Yum!!! Just right for this old Colonel's tum!!

How deliciously delightful!!!

(Customers, and especially Mlles. Isabel et Leonora - please note)

And all delivered direct to your door on the good (but sometimes a tad naughty) Doctor's very own bicycle built for two!

(All unattached ladies between Lawson and Lithgow please take note. The Doctor is also available for pleasant rides 'around and about'.)

[N.B. The Colonel wishes it known that the directly preceding statement was added under extreme duress, namely the potential revelation of the Colonel's secret camel-breeding methods of which 'nothing further will ever be said' - harrumph!!]
