“George Thompson appeared in a comic drama, entitled ‘New York to Constantinople,’ in which he represented a Dutchman and afterwards a monkey. The drama was quite a laughable affair, and was well received. In the olio business, Johnny Wild and Billy Sheppard appeared as the White Fawns. Addie Le Brun has become a great favorite at this establishment. She is a very pleasing vocalist and a most excellent actress.”
