In “The Lincoln Highwayman.” An excellent sketch very well played by Mr. Dickey, Miss Plummer and one of the members of his company, the other two being the chauffeur and the stage carpenter. The sketch went over in strong shape and possibly there is no fault to find, but the fact remains that we are not getting what I saw in New York. In New York, Mr. Dickey had a special set also a little taxicab limousine on the stage, neither of which was brought here. He simply asked to have one of our house sets with the back turned to the audience which, to my mind, would be rediculous [sic]. Fortunately, I had a scenic artist here and we rushed something through that made it look like a special set. I believe this question should be taken up with Mr. Dickey before he gets much further. 32 minutes full stage.
