White Fawn

“Fortune, which frowned at first, seems now to fawn upon the spectacle at Niblo’s. That picturesque bewilderment, ‘The White Fawn’ runs smoothly and successfully, giving rich stores of pleasure to town and country, and rich stores of money to the management.”

“There was even a slender attendance at Niblo’s to see the ‘White Fawn,’ yet that new spectacle has scarcely ever been better played.”

“The Fiftieth Performance of the ‘White Fawn’ at Niblo’s Garden, takes place on Friday evening, March 6th. Several evenings the past week there were a number of vacant seats in the parquet circle, which may be accounted for by the bad weather. When we take into consideration the great run of the ‘Black Crook,’ the one hundred performances of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream,’ and the fact that the ‘Fawn’ is by no means as attractive a was the ‘Crook,’ the management cannot be but satisfied with the patronage bestowed upon the ‘Fawn,’ averaging, as the houses have about [illeg…—could be “fifteen”] hundred dollars nightly. In consequence of the indisposition of Fanny Stockton three evenings the past week, Mrs. Mark Smith played her role in a satisfactory manner. Lizzie Willmore has become a great favorite with the habitués, and her singing of ‘I Love the Military,’ is heartily applauded each evening. Owing to the great labor already imposed upon the several artists in the terpsichorean and vocal department, no repetition is allowed.”
