| − | Billed as a "side-splitting entertainment", the work is ascribed to Arthur H. Ward by [[F.C.L. Bosman]] (1980: p. 260). However this is impossible, since the performance referred to dates from 1867, and Ward was only born in 1883. So it is most probably another, earlier, burlesque-style work by an unknown author, not Ward and Vernon's operatic work ''[[Le Bal Masqué]]'' (1898), though it may have been a source for the later work.
