“The engagement of Mr. and Mrs. Barney Williams at the Winter Garden is a thing of beauty to the management, and to the public a joy forever. Neither depressing war news, nor bad weather, nor the nipping and the eager frost affects the solid amplitude of their [The Williams’] audiences.  Every evening last week witnessed a renewal of the public’s substantial considerations.”
