Betsy Jane is an unidentified theatrical work performed by the visiting D'Arcy Read Company in the Cape Town Gardens, on 27 November, as part of a "Grand Fête Champêtre", also including Ghost Illusions by D'Arcy Read.

This is possibly a version of one of two one-act farces written by John Maddison Morton (1812-1854), each containing a character named "Betsy" and both first performed in 1850, namely My Precious Betsy or Betsy Baker!, or Too Attentive by Half.
