It contains the character "Fritz van Vonderblinkenstoffen", based on and often performed by Joseph Kline Emmett, who had developed the "Fritz" character in minstrel variety shows, and a character that would become the source of a range of "Fritz" plays. Possibly also the British musical performed in Cape Town by [[Charles Arnold]] in 1895, referred to as '''''[[Captain Fritz]]''''' by [[D.C. Boonzaier|Boonzaier]] (1923) and said by [[F.C.L.
