“The change of songs, &c., which is to be made in the ‘Forty Thieves,’ will not be made just yet. More time is required for the elaboration of certain mechanical jokes which are necessary for the full effect of the whole, and the managers have determined to postpone the production rather than present these efforts of wit in an incomplete state. No change is required at Niblo’s, however; the old nonsense still continues to attract new audiences.”
