“…The evident tendency of the Olympic is toward the elevation of the ‘variety show,’ and many of the disagreeable features associated with performances occasionally seen elsewhere are not tolerated here. A discrimination of this sort is especially needed at a house so generously patronized. Any neglect in this direction would doubtless bring its own penalty in due season.”
