– Bad Dickey “is nightly thronged with delighted audiences…[and] improves with each successive representation, as do the actors, who are now perfect in their parts. The burlesque is full of fun, frolic and enjoyable nonsense, and is evidently destined to have a long and successful run.”

Notes that Bad Dickey “is one of the best burlesques that has been produced in this city for a long time… Tammany will surely enrich its stockholders.”
