“‘Humpty Dumpty’ appears to have taken a new lease of life, for the attendance the past two weeks has been quite large. Each evening the past week the sign ‘Standing Room Only’ was placed at the door before the performance commenced, and a great many ladies as well as gentlemen left unable to obtain a seat.”
