“Leffingwell gave, this week, his initimable burlesque of Ristori’s Medea, with Mrs. H. Watkins as the cruel Jason.  We have already described this ludicrous arrangement of Euripides’ great creation, and can only say that both of the above mentioned artistes faithfully represented the merry god Momus, during the past week.”
