“Remunerative audiences continue to witness ‘Humpty Dumpty’ at the Olympic Theatre. The Zouave drill by Carrie and Charles Austin is attracting considerable attention, more so since two of the Montgomery Guard from Boston gave a rival drill at the Academy of Music in this city on July 29th. It was, in comparison with the Austins’ act, a very tame affair.”
