Announcement: New-York Times, 29 March 1869, 5.

“The four hundred and twenty-eighth performance of ‘Humpty Dumpty’ will take place at the Olympic Theatre to-night. The receipts of the Olympic for the month of February were $25,000—sign enough that pantomime holds its own amid the most legitimate entertainments of the time.”
