“‘The Duke’s Motto,’ the opening success of which, last week, was beyond all precedent, will be represented every night until further notice.”
5)
“Niblo’s Garden continues to be filled nightly. ‘The Duke’s Motto’ has become the most popular drama of the season, and the splendid manner in which Mr. Wheatley has put it upon the stage reaps a substantial reward.”
9)
“[T]he ‘Duke’s Motto’ continues to attract tremendous houses to Niblo’s. There is but one opinion of the merit of the play, and the stupidity of Mr. COLLINS’ two songs. Why don’t the gentleman sing these between the acts, or in the Summer Garden of the establishment, if he insists on inflicting them upon the public?”
