Abstract

Personne writes that the holiday week has been "dull" for the theaters, which have been mainly given over to "children and Peorians" (3). He reviews Green Bushes with a mocking French accent. In addition to general news and upcoming shows, Personne predicts a short run for A Husband to Order at Wallack's. Personne reports that it has been announced that Matilda Heron will star in a new play in Boston, Lesbia, and discusses the media response to this news. Personne announces that his five-act tragedy, Anna Maria, "is nearly ready for the stage" (3). Personne concludes the Feuilleton with a discussion of the confusion in Boston over "what to do with" the opera and the various reports and reviews from Boston critics (3).
