...Robson and company began a two week's engagement at the Hollis St. Theatre last night in "An Arrant Knave." The play purports to be a mediaeval comedy, but it partakes more of the nature of melodrama than than of comedy, and melodrama of a conventional sort.

"My Milliner's Bill," an enjoyable comedy in one act, followed with Miss Vokes and Mr. Courtenay Thorpe in the cast. Miss Vokes rendered her part exceedingly well, while her singing and graceful dancing brought forth frequent applause. The last feature was "A Double Lesson," a short comedy which gave Miss Vokes abundant opportunity for displaying her remarkable gracefulness...
