“’The Black Crook,’ notwithstanding it has attracted, for nine consecutive months, the largest audiences ever before ever within the walls of any theatre, is as popular to-day as it was when first produced.  No play has caused such an excitement, notwithstanding the fulminations of the moral and religious press of the country.”
