 After Harper had given up the [[Theatre Royal]], Sidney stepped in to take it over briefly in 1885, with [[H.J. Fiedler]] as his business partner. Inspired by [[Sutton Vane]]'s rediscovery of the text of ''[[The Silver King]]'' (Jones and Herman), the [[Sidney-Fiedler Company]] put it on in the theatre, providing Sidney with an opportunity to give his best performance ("the apex of his colonial career" as Boonzaier phrases it) as "Wilfred Denver" in [[Sutton Vane]]'s production of the play.
