“Messrs. JARRETT & PALMER having obtained an injunction against the further performances of ‘After Dark’ at this theatre, it has been suddenly withdrawn.”

Announcement: New York Herald, 12 November 1868, 3.

Last evening After Dark was not performed at the Bowery Theatre because of an injunction granted by Judge Barnard at the insistence of Mr. Palmer.  The piece will undoubtedly be produced with the original effects of this theater, which made it so popular with the patrons of Old Drury (Theatre Royal, London).
