The Florences “closed their long Winter Garden engagement on the 26th March.  They commenced playing ‘The Ticket-of-Leave Man’ on the 30th of November, we do believe, and from that time until March 26th it has retained possession of the Winter Garden stage, drawing good houses, on an average, all that time.  The piece must have netted William seventeen or eighteen thousand dollars, which is a pretty stiff pile of money to salt down in one-third of a year.”
