“Mr. Thompson shows marked improvement in his acting, and his performances upon a large number of musical instruments deserve much commendation, as they are correct, and evince that the performer has more than a superficial knowledge of each. His performances in the concert saloon scene in the second act were most enthusiastically received.”
