| − | CASE, Signor Dalle (18*?-) First appeared in the Cape in 1847 with his brother Severo, with whom he managed an “Italian Circus”, which staged a variety of circus-style programmes as well as several pantomimes at the [[Victoria Theatre]] and the [[Garrison Theatre]] in Cape Town. In 1848, the brothers went their separate ways, each with his own circus. Dalle, however, also acted as impresario for a professional French theatre-company (the [[French Dramatic Artistes]]), freshly arrived from Mauritius, which debuted in the [[Hope Street Theatre]] in 1848 with a show featuring mainly song and dance. However, Case failed to make a financial success of this venture, and the company soon abandoned him, becoming known as [[Theatre de L’Union]]. Shortly thereafter he appears to have left the Cape (and show-business) for adventures in the interior. (See: Fletcher, 1994; Bosman, 1928) [TH,JH]
