“Tony Pastor is up and doing at all times with the latest novelties for his patrons at his favorite place of amusement in the Bowery. Miss Melinda Nagle, a danseuse of considerable reputation in Philadelphia, made her debut at this establishment on May 20th, and appeared each evening during the week in fancy and jig dancing. She is very pleasing in appearance, and a clever mistress of her art.”
