“This celebrated play has been in preparation for more than a year, and everything that money could procure or good taste suggest, has been lavished on it. The leading role has always been regarded as the best in Mr. Booth’s repertoire.”
“‘Richelieu’ was produced here last evening with a sumptuousness which has never before been seen on the American stage. The scenery and costumes were of the highest excellence, so good indeed that no precedent can be given of equal excellence. Of the performance we shall take another opportunity to speak. It was in every way admirable.”
“‘Richelieu,’ the most beautiful play ever brought out on the American stage, will be repeated at the Winter Garden every night until further notice. Mr. Booth can not be seen to better advantage.”
