According to D.C. Boonzaier (1923, as cited in Bosman, 1980, p. 403), a company called the Ernest Searelle Comedy Company toured South Africa in the late 19th century, giving an excellent performance of The New Boy (Lumley) in Cape Town in 1895, with a cast that consisted of Hope Dudley, Herbert Flemming, Leslie Kenyon and William Devereux.
However, no further mention of the name Ernest Searelle has been found and though the name of the company does appear in the index to Bosman (1980), as the name of someone called Ernest Searelle does not. It is thus just possible that either Boonzaier (1923) or Bosman (in citing Boonzaier on p. 403) may have the name wrong in this case and that the company was in actual fact one of Luscombe Searelle's enterprises. Possibly named the Luscombe Searelle Comedy Company (or the Searelle Comedy Company).
