...Globe, the Vokes Family will present for the first time in Boston their new play, "Too, too, Truly Rural," which is said to be very amusing, although possessing nothing very original. It is rather strange, this remarkable success of the Vokes. They sing and dance fairly well, to be sure; but any variety house has artistes who can do as well. Their wit is decidedly weak, breathing throughout of London Punch; but for all this, we have seen people almost split their sides, and permanently contort their faces over one of Fred or "Georgy" Vokes' puns...

...assure you that is not what we think about the matter. It is almost impossible to imagine more contemptible conduct than this removal of shingles. They can be of no possible gain to the men who take them, while serious inconvenience must result to the losers.
