A good example of the bright wit and keen sense of humor of that eminent and well-known comedian, Wm. Warren, of the Museum company, is the following: Mr. Fred Vinton, Boston's promising young portrait painter, and a personal friend of the comedian's, on his return from Spain a few days ago met Mr. Warren in the Parker House, and said, as they were speaking of the plays then in progress, "By the way, Mr. Warren, while I was in New York I went to see Jefferson as Bob Acres in the 'Rivals.' Jefferson himself was, of course, as good as ever, but he was supported very badly." "Ah, yes," answered Mr. Warren, "I have heard that the 'Rivals' was being presented in New York, with 'Sheridan twenty miles away.'"
