“BROADWAY THEATRE.—‘Joe,’ in its second week at this cosey and delightful theatre, judging from the large and fashionable attendance last evening, promises to draw as largely as on the first week of its presentation. In popular estimation the play, in fact, is already stamped as a decided rival to ‘Sam.’ Like the latter comedy, written expressly for Mr. Chanfrau, than whom there is no actor on the modern stage possessing more versatility; it presents him in equally diverse and amusing characters. For all who want to laugh and grow fat this is the place still as it has been for weeks past. Considering the growing popularity of the play, it is to be regretted that Mr. Chanfrau’s engagement terminates so soon.”
