“The irrepressible Tony Pastor, the great theatrical Mogul of the east side, is out with another new sensational drama entitled, ‘Fairy Shamrock, or the Lakes of Killarney,’ which has been placed upon the stage in a style never before attempted at this theatre. ‘Tony’ himself has added the ‘Wickedest Man in New York’ to his ‘Grecian Bend,’ and it is anticipated that the Bowery ‘revival’ will be something sumptuous.”
