“At Robinson Hall, ‘Chilperic’ has formed the only attraction during the past week, the operetta of ‘Lischen and Fritschen’ having been omitted. W. H. Woodfield, who assumed the title role in ‘Chilperic,’ in place of H. Laurent, who has left the company, gave a most satisfactory vocal rendition of the various numbers falling to his share; and as he is a far better actor than his predecessor, the interpretation of the character was a most creditable one.”
