...have ever seen. Mr. MacMillan made a great deal out of the Baron, and the ladies were lovely. On Thursday night the performance commenced with "The Follies of a Night," which was well acted and interesting. In conclusion came "Your Life's in Danger," which we must regard as the greatest success of the week. Messrs.

We may blame him for his quickness in discovering our vices and our failings, or for his slowness to appreciate our virtues; we may complain that he seeks the disease rather than the remedy; yet we seldom accuse him of untruth...
