George Wilson & Co.

Location:
Date:
In a new sketch by Will Cressy and Ira Dodge, called “My Old Kentucky Home”.  Mr. George Wilson is the famous comedian of the old Boston Museum Co. and latter made a big success in “If I Wer King” with E.H. Sothern.  This was the first presentation of the sketch and it went remarkably well in-deed for a first production.  There is a great deal of merit to the little play and it was excellently played by Mr. Wilson and his Company.  The only fault I had to find today was the length of it and the superfluous material which is going to be remedied for the night performance.  I think by the end of the week Mr. Wilson will have a sketch that will be an acquisition to any bill. He carries very beautiful scenery and perfumes the theater with magnolia, lending a decided Southern atmosphere to the presentation.  Should be very strong in all the New England cities.  Sketch ran today 32 minutes; expect to get it down to about 25 min. full stage, 2 shows.
