The author (William Kerr?) discusses the upcoming benefit at the Royal Victoria Theatre, Sydney, for the actors Cordelia Cameron and Samson Cameron. In the column he notes that the 'play selected for [the benefit of Mr and Mrs Cameron] ... is ... The Massacre of Jerusalem, in which the author, a Mr Morris Phillips, who has recently arrived from London, makes his first appearance in this colony ... The first piece which ... is especially licensed for the occasion, has never yet been published'. The Massacre of Jerusalem is listed first in the advertisements for the benefit.
