Knox has observed that some of the public is suspicious of whether the theatre can contribute to the "good of the community." Supports Gardiner's defense of the theatre, writing that "the theatre may exude and confirm the most elevated and pure love of general liberty, as well as local attachment." Discusses "Republican government controlling the theatre."
