Article: New York Post, 09 March 1867.

“One of the morning papers stated yesterday that a part of the ballet corps of Niblo’s Garden had been engaged by Mr. Maretzek. There was no foundation for the statement. The latter gentleman is able to get a sufficient corps de ballet without borrowing from his managerial neighbors, and the managers of Niblo’s have no notion of diminishing the attractions of the ‘Black Crook.’”
