"Enclosed find our program of 'Gentlemen's Night,' which passed off very pleasantly. All evidently appreciated the comical situations in 'Good as Gold,' and the ladies certainly made the most of them. The gentlemen seemed greatly to enjoy the play, and we were all agreed that it was a bright, clean comedy, very suitable for occasions like ours."—Amherst Woman's Club, Amherst, Mass.
"We presented the play, 'Good as Gold,' at our summer residence before an audience of a hundred and fifty people. The tickets were sold at seventy-five cents apiece and the proceeds given to a local charity. The parts were taken by ten girls from twelve to fourteen years of age and they did themselves, as well as those who had instructed them, great credit. Many pronounced it the best piece of amateur acting they ever had seen. The play, itself, was highly commended by all as being extremely refined, free from all foolish ideas, bright and interesting from beginning to end."—Mrs. Eugene N. Foss, Cohasset, Mass.
