Abstract
Writing to Mr. Editor, after remarking that he has returned from an absence, Figaro opens with a discussion of his stove, the cold, and how the story of his stove can be heard at Pfaff's. Figaro also makes mention of De Walden's The Balloon Wedding and discusses other theater critics' negative reviews of popular actors like Edwin Booth and Kate Bateman. Figaro engages in a discussion of how "business is the order" at several theaters, including Wallack's, and discusses the current shows and musical events.
