...Boston stage. Mr. Blair's conception of Robert Fergan was virile and not unsympathetic, and his acting was finished to the highest degree. His support was of exceptional strength and evenness. Miss Kahn resembles Mrs. Fiske in the naturalness of her method; Mr. Lewis, as Michael Daverines, though a trifle stiff, and not altogether convincing, made the most of a thankless and difficult part; and Miss Harrington and Mr. Anderson played the colorless sister and brother-in-law with excellent taste.

...comedy for the celebration. Corbineli is also told to make Charlot Granger drunk in order to keep him out of the way until Genevote and Granger are married. Corbineli, who is still in league with his young master, arranges a plot by which Charlot is to feign death, as though he had been killed in a drunken brawl. Genevote is to agree to marry Granger on condition of being allowed to go through the marriage ceremony with a supposed corpse first, and at the proper time Charlot is to resuscitate. Paquier has overheard the scheme, and the plan fails...
