Until Henrietta Crosman took her "As You Like It" to New York this season, it was thought that Shakespeare would never more be successful in the metropolis, but Miss Crosman not only captivated New York and thereby made herself famous, but established a record run in New York for Shakespeare with one exception and that was Edwin Booth.

Miss Crosman played her "Rosalind" to crowded houses at the Republic for nearly 100 nights, while Edwin Booth just completed the century.
