 Case apparently now left the Cape (and show-business) for adventures in the interior for a while.
 However his wife (and Dalle Case himself?) seemingly continued performing in circus presentations,  possibly with [[Noble's Circus]], since [[F.C.L. Bosman]] (1928, p. 437, f.2) notes a [[Signora Dalle Case]] (is this supposed to be ''signor''?), who performed on the borders of the Cape toward the end of 1850 and then appears in Natal in 1852, performing with a number of wild animals, as in traditional South African circusses.
 == The performances ==
 Their first performance on was 14 February 1848 and began with a "Grand Dramatic Presentation" which included a "Grootze Muzykale Interludium" ("Grand Musical Interlude"), with arias, dances and some scenes from a farce they call ''[[De Twee Savoyanen]]'' (''Anon.'': though it may have been scenes taken from the two act Belgian farce ''[[Arlekyn Savoyard]]'' by De Pauw). This was followed by the farcical ballet called  ''[[De Gelukkige Man, of De Ontmoeting in het Donker]]'' (''Anon.'' - also called a "landelike stuk" or a "rural play" by Bosman, 1928: p. 435).
