Long, funny review of “The Take-it-and-leave man,” in the form of a letter to Dan Bryant by one “Hank Mudge, Judge.” The letter/review is making fun of advertisements for the Florence’s very successful Ticket of Leave Man, in which a judge and other prominent members of the city praise the positive moral effect of the play. “I had the deep gratification of witnessing your exquisite delineation of a colored ‘Take it and Leave Man.’ . . . I wish every colored clergyman and rioter to have an opportunity to see your Robert Ridley.”
