Hereafter we find occasional references to Ashman, e.g. in 1900 when he did a production of ''[[The Cuckoo]]'' (Charles H. Brookfield after ''[[Décoré]]'' by Meilhac) at the [[Opera House]] Cape Town, and in early 1905 when he appeared in [[Leonard Rayne]]'s production of ''[[Charley's Aunt]]'' (Thomas) in the same theatre.
