No mention of music. William Holston plays the part of Mrs. Wisby “a female Fagin, without the sinister coloring that amiable person has been given. . . . His assumption of the part is characterized by a perfect insight into its requirements, a close study of some kindred temperament, methods of expression of the most natural order, a rare power of vocal and physical disguise, and adherence to a preconceived idea of the picture that no opportunity of securing thoughtless approval can tempt him from. . . .”
