“She Still Flows at Wood’s Minstrels. ‘Petroliamania,’ notwithstanding our adverse opinion of its merits, continues to attract fair audiences, which goes to show that people prefer to judge for themselves, instead of trusting altogether to newspaper reports. Well, if it draws for a year no one will be more gratified than ourselves, for no manager is more deserving of success than Mr. Henry Wood.”
