...questions; she has a woman's heart, and it may be almost breaking, yet a kind word would ruin her. She does her best, and has her faults; but we are like her in the latter, and often behind her in the former. She is one of a queer element in the city's vast population, and her life passes as a tedious dream; but after the dream she sleeps and wakes...

Mr. Hosford as "Betsy Perks" was certainly in his element, and deserves much praise for the manner in which the part was carried out. This farce was the best one of the evening, and besides being the most interesting was much the most difficult...
