Some of the bandits were described as "swathed in cartridge belts up to the eyes," and "jingling...
...know that this so-called German Grand Opera Company is again an enterprise of Mr. Blumental's. As soon as we heard about our name 'Bayreuth' being brought into connection with this, we wrote to Mr. Blumental strickly forbidding him to call his company anything like Bayreuth! He sent us a very old dirty looking visiting card with his name and the words 'German Opera Company' to reassure us that he was not misusing the word Bayreuth. This Prospectus again shows us that this Grand German Opera Company is working with our name...
