“Of his singing [J. B. Polk] we say nothing, as we take it for granted it has already been dispensed with.” “The music, what there is of it, is excellently managed by Mr. Robert Stoepel. We presume he is not responsible for the mistake, during the second act, of producing progressive chords from an Aeolian harp.”
