A Story of Mayo and Stage Trials in Early California
A tale of Brank Mayo quitting Maguire's San Francisco stock company after a youth’s premature cheer disrupts a Rolla scene. Junius Booth’s outburst prompts Mayo to decide if the infant California stage loses a bright star. A Western farmer outwits a grocery trick with a iron egg that breaks plates, proving solid facts outdo tricks.

Der Freiechatz Critique Sparks Memoir of Jerrold's Early Writings
A young Douglas Jerrold at Bigg's printing house in Lombard Street wrote a critique on Der Freiechatz and slipped it into his employer's box. The piece amused, he later earned a reward when his composition was returned to him to be reworked. The tale recalls boisterous readings of Arliss' Magazine and quick witted exchanges with Mr. Spark and others.
