      “Mr. Dan Bryant begins the twelfth week of his summer engagement. He has not been so successful pecuniarily this year as he was last, but that is accounted for by the number of competitors for public patronage. Last summer Wallack’s ran alone for some weeks—this summer nearly all the houses have been open.”
