“Mrs. Wood and Frank Drew are making lots of fun and money at the Olympic since they entered upon the ‘Rocking Horse’ business.  It looks like old times to see this house crowded as it used to be when Laura Keene and her ‘American Cousin,’ and ‘Seven Sisters,’ attracted large audiences the whole season through.”
