Commentaire: Bien que le public ait apprécié Around the World, ses finances précaires et la climatisation inadéquate du théâtre n’ont pas pu le soutenir pendant l’été, et Welles a été contraint de le fermer. Il a personnellement perdu environ 320.000$ (équivalent de 5 000 000 $ aujourd’hui). Il lui a fallu de nombreuses années pour payer la dette.  (plus)
