“Mr. and Mrs. Barney Williams are in the midst of their farewell engagement at the Broadway Theater. It is the theater that we are to lose, however, and not the players. No sentiment of sadness, therefore, lingers about these final representations at the old house. It is an old house; it is circumscribed, rather dingy, and very far down town for the habitual theater goer; so that we shall not much miss it when it is gone. Mr. and Mrs. Williams will play here until the end of April, on which Shakespearean anniversary their engagement will terminate. The last days of the Broadway will be remembered as among tis pleasantest and best. ‘The Emerald Ring’ has been put upon the stage with uncommon care and taste.” Positive review follows; no mention of music.
