Fiske plays a “tough”; Miss McDonough is “horribly affected as the society matron”; she is “entirely off-key”
Fiske "suffers from incipient socialism, and his sketches are too bitter to be really funny ... His flings at the rich who would be practically charitable are funny in a fashion but too grim"
He "will never get to be a real headliner until he abandons his preachings" He should "keep his views in private ... [and] confine himself to comedy rather than the problems of reformers"
