Abstract
Personne begins with a discussion of the opera and a review of La Travista, which he does despite his claim that he won't be reviewing the show. Personne also reports that Mr. Wallack is playing some of his old roles to large crowds, announces the cast of Laura Keene's upcoming production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, and notes the current events at the opera, the French Theatre, and New Orleans. Personne also reprints the review of the Mesalliance from the Times, as he forgot what the show was about.
