Le Bal Masqué ("The masked ball") is a comic opera by Arthur H. Ward ()[], with music by H. Vernon.

Sloppy Sam

The original text

According to Allardyce Nicoll, this was first performed at the Parkhurst Theatre on 16 May, 1898.

Translations and adaptations

A "side-splitting entertainment" called The Bal Masqué (Sloppy Sam) was apparently well known in Cape Town in the 1860s and is ascribed to Arthur H. Ward by F.C.L. Bosman (1980: p. 260). However this is unlikely to be true and it may simply have been another, earlier, burlesque-style work.
