Pilgrim

“At the old church of the Puritans John Bunyan acts as stage manager, and the audience every night accompanies Christian on his journey towards the happy land of Canaan, while music and invisible choruses lend interest to the fine tableaux.”

“An agreeable evening’s entertainment is afforded at ‘Pilgrim Hall’ (late Dr. Cheever’s Church). A series of paintings illustrating scenes in ‘Pilgrim’s Progress’ is exhibited with the occasional introduction of appropriate music by a quartette led by Philip Phillips. This is designed to be a permanent feature among city amusements, the object being to afford a place of resort where positively good influences may be combined with an attractive entertainment.”
