“Mr. Budworth sustains his expensive enterprise at the new Fifth Avenue Opera House in a very spirited manner in the production of attractive novelties. This evening the members of his troupe appear, for the first time, in the Jolly Millers. The managers announce also the first week of the Raid on Canada, Happiest Couple Out, Two Quiet Lambs, with Barbara Allen and the Persecuted Dutchman, and many songs, dances, quaint sayings, burlesques, and so forth.”
