Dramatic Feuilleton

Personne [Wilkins, Edward G. P.]. "Dramatic Feuilleton." New-York Saturday Press. 25 Feb. 1860: 3.
Type: 
newspaper
Genre: 
theater criticism
Abstract: 

Personne opens the Feuilleton with an address to Effendi that leads to a discussion of the Opera and Lent. Personne discusses Lent "from a theatrical point of view," noting that at the mid-point of the season, it looks like the next forty days will be "dusty times" at the theaters with nothing new being performed at Wallack's and Keene's (3). Personne gives the general Opera and theater news and notes the Maretzek has engaged Gottschalk for a performance in Manhattan. Personne reviews Le Roman d'un Jeune Homme Pauvre at the French Theatre and compares it to Wallack's adaptation, The Romance of a Poor Young Man. Personne also discusses the return of Mrs. John Wood to the Winter Garden and notes the successes of her recent performances in some of her previously successful roles.
