...Romulus and Remus," Messrs. Churchill and Sprague, as the twins, formed the chief attraction, and their pranks and songs caused great amusement. From the very moment of his rather novel entry as a deus ex machina, Mr. Briggs was very successful as "Apollo"; and the tableau and choral appeal to that jolly deity were most effective.
