“The Sioux and Winnebagos are still at Barnum’s. Chieftains are the height of the production. Every day they are stared at by new crowds of sightseers, upon whom with dreaded horror they lavish their whimsical warfare and, to be sure, not quite melodious songs. Despite the fact that it is already beginning the fall [season], the summer theater company continues its ideas under Mr. W. Clarke’s capable direction.”
