...work of Goodwin is delightful. His dry, sarcastic remarks on the father's reflections upon players in the first act; his meeting with Ada at her father's house, his simulation of intoxication, his forgetfulness for the moment when she appeals to the better nature, thrills even his stupid hearers with the genius of his art, and his heart-breaking demand upon the father to aid him in getting away lest his strength should prove unequal to his promise, must be seen to be appreciated.

On becoming acquainted with Agnes, von Fink finds her to his surprise, a very charming girl, and he at once falls in love with...
