“On MONDAY, June 4, and every night following, except Wednesday, great and attractive Scenery of Modern and Ancient Wars, comprising the Campaign under Washington and the principal Scenes of the late Rebellion. Entirely new, on moving life-like pictures, painted by our best artists. Also a grand display of Magic Pictures, never exhibited in this country before. For musical entertainment a large Orchestrion calculated to give full satisfaction to the public.”
