Amicable Club
AMICABLE CLUB, The.*****???? Mr T.P. Hill started with a series of “Novel Literary Entertainments” in the Commercial Exchange. In 1848 he became the secretary of the “Amicable Club” and played a leading role in its recitation and literary studies. In June 1849 he once again gave regular presentations of “Hill's Literary Entertainments” in the Exchange. He recited from Shakespeare (Hamlet, Shylock, Mark Anthony, etc.), Dickens, Sheridan Knowles, and from other prose and verse writers. Hill continued these “Entertainments” until 1850, and left the Cape early 1851. His recitals had an enormous influence on the many amateur players in the Cape.]
