“Humpty Dumpty had a Fall in reality last week, for the attendance at the Olympic was quite slim every night excepting Monday. Nevertheless it is doing the best business of any theatre in town, and as the running expense is probably lighter than that of any other piece in the city, the management is no doubt satisfied, considering the season of the year and the great run of crowded houses it has until lately enjoyed.”
