     “Maggie Mitchell and her Cricket, although now in their fourth week, draw sufficiently well to warrant the management of Niblo’s in running them until further notice.  Maggie’s Fanchon is a nice bit of acting, full of childlike simplicity, and a very natural hitching up of that old shoe run down at the heel.”
