Samuel Pickwick, Tracy Tupman Nathaniel Winkle Augustus Snodgrass and Alfred single impersonated by John Cumberland, Harry. Plimmer Ralph Bunker, MacKenzie Ward and Hugh Miller, distinguished English and American actors now appearing in "Pickwick", the Dickens play at the Majestic Theatre, will sit stop the famous old 'Commodore Coach" surveying the favorite city of the man who created them and paying their sincere respects to the haunts and friendships he chose from the multitudes proffered him on his two American visits at the height of unprecedented popularity...
...carefully selected by Mr. Frank Reilly whom the program also credits with the imposing task of collaborating on, producing, and costuming the play, and it more than justifies its choice. The very attitudes and gestures are reminiscent of the Phiz illustrations. Particular laurels and bays are due to Mr. Cumberland for a fine, well-rounded Pickwick; to Mr. McNaughton for his tireless Sam Weller, a rich part richly played; and to Mr. Miller for his melodramatic Alfred Jingle.

He is always running away on a bicycle or in a Ford to address mass meetings in the Midlands, or to stir up the lazy villagers of Cambridgeshire to take a greater interest in the running of their country...
...tears of joy in the eyes of Mr. Langley, who was composing a telegram to his darling, Spouse Langley. His words flowed like a dream in the Vale of Tempe: "I am supremely happy. Even these grey prison walls seem to shine with the lustre of our beloved Cumberland and Blue Ridge. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord. May He bless and keep always the good men and women and all our children of the Kentucky Mountains. My love and greetings to the first Congresswoman of the old commonwealth." There...
