     “It draws the ‘Monte Cristo’ play, and makes cheerful the otherwise benign countenance of the ‘indefatigable treasurer.’  There are so many changes in the spectacle, so many characters, such beautiful scenes, and loveable women, that the eye drinketh in the former, and the heart yearneth after the latter.  Stranger, you can not ‘do’ New York without seeing ‘Monte Cristo,’ now the rage at Mrs. Wood’s Olympic.”
