“The company of the charming little opera house, adjoining the Fifth Avenue Hotel, in addition to their musical olio produced last night the startling new shadowy pantomime entitled A Trip to the Moon. The piece is unquestionably the best thing of the kind that has been produced upon the minstrel boards of this city for a number of years past, and keeps the audience in continual laughter from its commencement to its termination. It was a grand success and will, undoubtedly, be kept upon the bills for some weeks to come.”
