“If any one wishes to have his blood run cold and each particular hair on his cranium to stand on end there is an excellent opportunity to attain this desirable object by seeing Fox at the Olympic as the murderous Macbeth. The music of the burlesque and of the original play is capitally rendered by a very efficient chorus.”
