“Jack Sheppard” is a favorite of the East side. The piece has no less than 35 scenes and 35 tableaux. The ballet dances away the terrors of the representation.

The hall was packed last night. “Jack Sheppard” is given in five acts, with 35 scenes and 20 tableaux. The exhibition by the Butler troupe is the ballet, “The Magic Flute.”
