“The exchange of the roles of Molda and Muller between Mlles. Aimée and Minelly in ‘La Timbale d’Argent,’ last night, did not mend matters in the estimation of the audience, as far as the utter indecency of the opera is concerned. Indeed, nothing short of the removal of the obnoxious piece from the boards will satisfy the public, and it is well that the management have taken the hint and announced, for Thursday evening the sparkling work, ‘La Princesse de Trebizonde,’ by Offenbach.”
