     “T.J. Riggs joined the forces at 444 last week, appearing in the farces. As Brian O’Linn he met with a hearty reception, and played the character very nicely, being well supported by the corps of beautiful ladies, as well as the male members of this company. In spite of the disagreeable weather under foot last week, this popular establishment did a first rate business.”
