“Tenth and last week. . . . The fall in gold is said to have something to do with the withdrawal of this popular burlesque. Mrs. John Wood sings and acts more charmingly than ever, and the ‘Fair One’ gives her ample opportunity for the display of her best powers. The last week should be the best week.”
