The Vault at Pfaff'sPersonne opens the Feuilleton with a discussion and reviews of the "two sensations" in opera: Maria di Rohan and La Favorita. Personne includes an update on his ongoing disagreement with the critics of the Daily News and Spirit of the Times and states that "Next to the diptheria, it is the greatest thing of the season" (3). Personne reviews Barney Williams's Ireland at War at Niblo's and mentions the announcement of George Christy's "burnt-cork campaign" at Niblo's Saloon. Personne notes that the French Theatre is currently performing Les Crochets de Pere Martin, which is remarkably similar to There's Many a Slip Twixt the Cup and the Lip, performed by the Florences at Wallack's during the Summer season. Personne also reviews Going it Blind, adapted by Miss Walcot and Brougham from Les Deux Aveugles. Personne closes with the disclaimer that any offense his column may cause can be blamed on the diptheria.
