Title A name given to the resource ‘A Ro-Me-Owe and Jew-Liet Revival (New Reading)’, The Bulletin, 17 November 1904 Subject The topic of the resource Balcony scene, Bulletin cartoons, economy, Her Majesty’s Theatre, I.O.U., James C. Williamson (1845-1913), Livingston Hopkins aka ‘Hop’ (1846-1927), loan, Miss Tittell Brune (1875-1974), New South Wales, NSW State loans, Romeo and Juliet, satire, Sir Joseph Carruthers (1856-1932), state politics, Sydney Morning Herald, William Shakespeare (c.1564-1616), usury. Description An account of the resource ‘Hop’ produced this Bulletin cartoon at a time when J. C. Williamson’s theatre company was staging William Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’ at Her Majesty’s Theatre in Sydney. The popular young American actress Miss Tittell Brune was in the starring role, with Mr R. A. Greenaway as Romeo and Mr Roy Redgrave (patriarch of the famous English acting family) as Mercutio (See The Sydney Morning Herald, Nov 12, 1904, p. 2. <a href="http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/page/1329960?" target="_blank">http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/page/1329960?</a>) Judging from reviews written at the time, Miss Brune’s “charming” balcony performance was hugely successful (See, for example, The Sydney Morning Herald, Nov 16, 1904, p. 2. <a href="http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/page/1330003?" target="_blank">http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/page/1330003?</a>). So, Hop’s cartoon was not only timely but also bound to raise a laugh or a smile of recognition from Sydney theatre-goers. The NSW government was barely into its fifth month of office, and Sir Joseph Carruthers − who was both premier and treasurer − had inherited the difficult task of dealing with accumulated State debts. The Sydney Morning Herald calculated that NSW owed around £4,310,000, to be paid-off over thirty years (The Sydney Morning Herald, October 10, 1904, p. 6. <a href="http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/page/1329596?" target="_blank">http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/page/1329596?</a>). Subsequently, Hop depicts premier Carruthers fawning and gesticulating to a bored and stereotypically Jewish financier. In the background, three spheres suspended in the night sky represent usury. Hop’s critique of the NSW economy is clearly designed to keep the matter firmly under continuous (and sceptical) public scrutiny.

Title A name given to the resource ‘Parkes and the Templars’, The Bulletin, 3 September 1887 Subject The topic of the resource alcohol, Bulletin, drunkenness, I.O.G.T., New South Wales, NSW, piety, pledge, poem, politics, Sir Henry Parkes (1815-1896), state politics, temperance, Templars. Description An account of the resource This poem has links with medievalism through its reference to ‘the Templars’. However, the Templars to whom it refers are not the famous medieval order of crusading knights but rather the crusading nineteenth-century temperance society, the I.O.G.T. The anonymous writer accuses Sir Henry Parkes (P-RK-S) of joining with, or rather of making use of, the temperance league for vested political interests. Presumably, the wily NSW premier was being accused of securing temperance votes by any means possible; including offering false ‘pledges.’ At the time, Parkes was into his fourth premiership, which he secured on a Free Trade ticket. He later managed to attain the office for a fifth time, equalling the accomplishment of his old rival Sir John Robertson. It is unlikely that Parkes ever seriously entertained the idea of enforcing temperance on the colony; he was too canny and his own fondness for champagne was too well known (see A. W. Martin, 'Parkes, Sir Henry (1815–1896)', Australian Dictionary of Biography, <a href="http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/parkes-sir-henry-4366" target="_blank">http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/parkes-sir-henry-4366</a>). He did, however, “regulate the liquor trade” in 1881, which pleased the temperance groups momentarily. The final stanza of the poem announces “When all the world is turned teetotal / Then P----s will leave the pleasant bottle, / But that’s in dim hereafter.” The anonymous Bulletin contributor also upbraids Sir Henry (and presumably politicians in general) for failing to maintain and justify ‘broken’ political pledges, for reasons only hinted at here.
