“Next week there will be an entire renovation of the play of ‘London,’ now running at the French Theatre. The alterations are radical and important in character, and cover the best parts of the plays of ‘London’ and ‘Time and Tide.’ By this reconstruction some additions in the cast will be rendered necessary.”
“At the French Theatre, ‘London’ enters tomorrow on the fourth week of its successful career. The piece then to be presented, we see, will differ very materially in respect of text and of many situations from that already acted. The superb scenery, however, will be exhibited in it as the more familiar version.”
Brief; notes that this version of London “is thought to be a decided improvement upon the original,” but does not explain what differentiates one from the other.
