“Bear and Maiden, a new musical, loco-politico adaptation of the popular fairy tale, Beauty and the Beast, with entire new scenery, costumes, properties, etc. Produced at heavy expense…music arranged by Mr. Theodore Boettger…The audience are particularly requested to notice the vast expanse of stage in comparison with other theatres, the same plan or picture presenting 8,000 square feet at one view; by far the largest in America.”
