...Robert Pitkin nearly stole the show as the Mikado, and did himself justice as the usher in "Trial by Jury" and as Dick Dead-Eye, although the latter part required a bass which he was not able to supply. James Gerard, the romantic lead of the company and its only good tenor, does not quite look the part of the handsome Ralph Rackstraw or a Nanki-Poo. His substitute, Allen Stewart, who played the defendant in "Trial by Jury," is better looking but his voice does not have the required lyrical quality...
