“NEW-YORK THEATRE.—A benefit was tendered Messrs. Schell and Denham, scenic artist and machinist of this cosey place of amusement, last evening, upon which occasion the always popular dramatization of the story of the ‘Hidden Hand,’ the musical burletta of ‘No, or the Glorious Minority,’ and other attractions were presented to a house goodly in numbers and appreciative and enthusiastic in disposition. Mrs. Kate Rynar as Capitola, Mr. G. C. Boniface as Black Donald, and Mr. W. L. Jamison as Wool, did excellently in the former piece, rendering their respective characterizations with a vim that was essentially a pleasure to witness. They were repeatedly called before the curtain. As a whole, the performance was very acceptable.”
