“ With a gracious smile over the same simple scenes and the same girlish recitations, you will blend, dear ladies, something like a sigh over the old, unforgotten faces, the unforgotten years and over the graver dramas that life has, since then, mounted upon a broader stage. If "one touch of Nature makes the whole world kin," these many touches from our common heritage, as daughters of Eden, must surely permit your happy hostesses to call themselves your younger sisters. ”

“ While we offer you our most respectful welcome, we ask your kindest indulgence, and we are well assured that we do not ask in vain. Our mimic stage does not aspire to hold the mirror up to Nature, but only to offer you the reflection of your own memories, in pictures that make a picture. ”
