 “Another change is made at Barnum’s Museum this week. ‘Ten Nights in a Bar Room’ was produced last week, which is withdrawn, however, for the romantic spectacular drama of ‘The Sea of Ice,’ which has been in preparation for some time. It is to be given for the first time this afternoon and continued through the week, with new dances by Emma Schell, etc.”
