Read Narrative
This is more or less original. Jack and Jill are the children of the late King, stolen by the Dame. The Crown is hidden at the bottom of the Well. The Regent proclaims that whoever shall find it shall be the Princess. The Prince, with Jack and Jill, finds it, but Carl the evil spirit of the piece carries them off and the Princes pursues and kills Carl. Still no-one can open the casket until the Good Fairy says Jack can because he is the rightful King. There is the usual 'low comedy' stuff of the Dame and other comic people, but it seems to be free from offence. The songs are all given. Recommended for Licence. G. S. Street
