Charles GS and his reviews in South Africa

The Natal Witness 8 June 1877.

Mr Guilfoyle Seymour as Hamlet, had already given us a taste of his mettle quite sufficient to whet our appetite and increase our anxiety to see his impersonation of Othello; and, notwithstanding the fact that there are very few, even of our greatest actors, who succeed in both characters, we were most pleased with his Othello.
At first he is rather cold but from the moment when Iago begins to whisper doubts of Desdemona into his ears, until the closing of the play, his rendering of the different phases of the evil effects of the 'green ey'd monster' with occasional moments of doubt and reproach for so doing is very grand and completely carried his audience with him.

Now here's a funny thing...

Emily first day at St Joseph's

Kyra first day at St Joseph's

This morning my favourite Son-in-Law sent me a picture of Emily in her school uniform just before she left to catch the bus to her fist day at St Joseph's High School. I oohed a bit because our girl was suddenly old enough to travel across town to school instead of across the road, and then I went on Facebook.

The first thing I saw was The picture that Kathryn Chambers had put up of her youngest daughter in her school uniform just before leaving to go to St Joseph's High School.

Just to keep you all straight about the relationship between these two beautiful young ladies, they are third cousins.

Emily is descended from Frederic Gibbon, Bernard Gibbon, Ann Macey, Andrea Roberts

Kyra is descended from Frederic Gibbon, Mary Carlson, Jackie Poole, Kathryn Chambers.

I do hope they get a chance to meet up in school, but girls, don't worry if you don't become close friends, it doesn't matter as long as you remember that you are family and watch each other's backs.

This is not the first time cousins have been in the same school several years ago at the first family reunion Rebecca and Lucy Carlson were quite surprised to see Kerry Ann and Hannah Smith because they knew each other in school but didn't know they were cousins.

Godd luck and best wishes to all cousins who are starting back to school in the next week or so. Enjoy this time and work hard, you will be rewarded
