“Have you seen the ‘White Crook’ at Tony Pastor’s? If you have not, you have missed a rich treat. To see T. G. Riggs as a sylph is worth the price of admission. Tony Pastor in his comic songs is as popular as ever, and is encored the usual number of times each evening. Tony Pastor’s Opera House has become a great institution on the Bowery side, and Tony is accumulating many stamps.”
