...Diavolo, was played by Mr. Goodwin, and his acting deserves the highest praise; all his songs were encored, and his "business" throughout the play was carefully elaborated. Zerlina, the "pretty little dear," was capital, and Mr. French's scene in the bed-chamber was perhaps the most amusing bit of acting in the whole piece. Mr. Mackintosh's make-up as Lady Allcash was a triumph for Mr. Rothe and Mrs. Wilson, and in his duets with Fra Diavolo and Lord Allcash (Mr. Simmons) he obtained encores.

"The True Shekinah" is a racy bit of writing, which quite demolishes the friends of science, whom it accuses of having "lifted up their heels against us and against science too. They have polluted the temple of God, they have sprinkled swine's blood in the Holy of Holies, they have tried to banish the Shekinah. Have...
...kindling of whose sudden fire they fortunately did not witness. And how about your waiting that Sunday till service had begun, and then marching down to the front of the broad-aisle with - No, I will stop. You evidently have none of the Jim-Fisk in you, - not a bit...
