Williamson and Moore played seasons in Australia and toured extensively with several pieces, including "Struck Oil", to India, the US, Europe, Britain and elsewhere. Everywhere they went, "Struck Oil" was a great success. When they opened the play at the Adelphi Theatre in London at Easter in 1876, "The Graphic" wrote, ""Struck Oil" is but a poor play; but the acting of Mr. Williamson in the part of Stofel, the Pennsylvanian Dutchman, exhibits genuine humour and pathos." Williamson and Moore later had a bitter divorce, and he tried unsuccessfully to stop her from appearing in the play, which she continued to revive throughout her career; she starred in the 1919 film version in her late 60s.
