In Fuller’s words

“But those who find the theatres of this city well filled all the year round by an audience willing to sit out the heroisms of Rolla, and the sentimentalism and stale morality of such a piece as we were doomed to listen to while the Keans were here, {" Town and Country"1 was its name,) still think there is room for the regular drama, if genius should engage in its creation.”
