Heidelberg versus Boucicault at two theatres in New York
Review of Heidelberg Or When All the World Was Young at Irving Place Theatre and a Boucicault version at Princess Theatre. The critic finds Meyer Foerster’s idyll graceful and touching, Boucicault’s English rendering flat and bloated, with poor German accents and weakened character depth. The burlesque, though uneven, pleases at times, especially the Twirly Whirly sequence, and promises improvement. The cast includes Morton Selten Norman Conni ers Robert Lorraine Max Freeman Minnie Dupree and Miss Templeton.

Plan for Boston to New York trolley line gains momentum
The piece outlines a proposed Boston to New York trolley route with control by Gay and Shaw for Boston Hartford, and the Connecticut Railway and Lighting Company from Woodmont to Port Chester, extending to New York City via the Port Chester Road. The Fair Haven and Westville Street Railway remains independent but may be absorbed. Hartford has an independent line.
