“Albert Braham will sing all the new opera of Faust—what he knows; Field will sing everything, know or not know; M. Lyons in his great Solo, “I Left It in the Cradle;’ Rouse in his late immense hit (on the nose); Munn in his Cork and Bottle Trick; Corwin, the very gentlemanly usher, and Smith, the Cerberus of the till, will officiate as long as they can keep their legs.  (‘Tis Bourbon does it.)”
