Very successful from a monetary point of view, but the most disappointing artistically in memory; carelessness of most of the performances; wretchedness of the orchestra; badness of the chorus; third-rate leading artists. Strong and universal interest in the only brilliant star, Pauline Lucca.

Brief; unexplained cancellation of Pauline Lucca’s farewell performance, which was to have taken place tonight; failures of the company’s season.
