John Craig & Co

Location:
Theater:
Date:
2 shows, 15 min, full stage. Presenting the wooing scene from ‘The Taming of the Shrew,’ which was beautifully costumed and capitally staged. Mr. Craig was supported by his wife, Mary Young, who did surprisingly well in the character of Kathryn, and a Mr. Louis Hall, as Baptiste, who is a capable. The reception given Mr. & Mrs. Craig proves conclusively that no mistake was made in booking them for this house, at least. While the scene from Shakespeare may have been better done by more experienced actors, still it was so handsomely presented and is such a contrast to surrounding variety acts that it seems to me to be well who doing elsewhere.
