“ ... offers the usual opportunities for vocal music and dancing, and is replete with local allusions, some witty and some trite. Mrs. J. A. Oates, in the rôle of Graceful, bears off, of course, the honors of the performance, thanks to an unflagging vivacity and to an ad captandum style of acting, which we cannot commend, but which is wondrous potent upon an audience of average culture.”
