Review 1:

Review by W.J. Henderson:

A very curious incident occurred just before the close of the afternoon performance of "Lohengrin." It might have been serious, but sometimes a tenor knows how to take care of himself. When Mr. Anthes as the Knight of the Grail stepped into the swan boat to take his departure from his too inquisitive bride, he leaned back too far and his weight capsized the fragile craft. Thus the unusual spectacle of the sudden disappearance of Lohengrin in the River Scheidt was presented. Mr. Anthes was not hurt, but the farewell of Lohengrin was deprived of its dignity and its pathos.
