“Mr. Fox’s pantomime of ‘Humpty Dumpty’ will attain its 400th representation, in the course of the present week. It is as bright as ever. Recently we described it, somewhat in detail. No new feature of immediate importance remains to be mentioned. One incident in the piece, however, Mr. Fox is advised to cut out. We allude to the Clown’s inspection of the dummy figures, in front of the millinery shop. It is the reverse of pleasant. Matinees are given at the Olympic on Wednesday and Saturday of each week, for the express behoof [sic] of Ladies and children. For the little people there is no entertainment like the pantomime.”
