No mention of music; not entirely positive. “Modern melodrama claims a license to be as it likes. Its world is its own. Let us not consider too curiously.”

“Mr. Edward Eddy benefits by the afternoon and evening performance at Wood’s Museum today. He will figure in both representations as Chiffonier in ‘The Ragpicker of Paris,’ and will doubtless be greeted on his appearance in either by the large and friendly audience his worth and service as an actor entitle him to look for with certainty.”
