Abstract
C.B.S. discusses several theatrical affairs in this Feuilleton. He begins with a discussion of the overcrowded and theatrically disappointing opening of Miss Rushton's theater, followed by a discussion of the French Theatre and his experience watching this company at the Academy of Music. C.B.S. follows this with a discussion of Edwin Booth's return to the stage and the Herald's recent "attack" upon him that mentioned Booth's brother's crime. C.B.S. ends the main column with a discussion of Charles Webb's theatrical career, his plays' successes in California, and their anticpated arrival in New York.
