Tony Pastor’s Opera House

Full cast list.

“Tony Pastor commences his spring season at his Opera House in the Bowery this evening, with the following company: [lists cast].”

“Tony Pastor is giving a most attractive and pleasing entertainment at his Opera House in the Bowery. Tony, who is a host in himself, reappeard the past week in a variety of songs, all of which were encored. Jennie Benson made her first appearance on the 12th, and at once made herself a great favorite. She opened in a clog dance, which was encored three times, and later in the evening an Irish jig and song, which was also encored five times. That she is one of the best female clog dancers no one can deny. Her jig also is very clever. George Wren [sic] is quite a favorite with his banjor solos, for he was called out six times. Maggie Fielding sang a song which introduced each member of the company, also other songs, all of which were cleverly sung. Helene Smith and Mary Gorenflo, two pleasing danseuses, are favorites on the cast [illeg.]. A child of about four years, called Clarence, appeared in a single bar trapeze act, and, for one so young, did remarkably well. John Fielding appeared in Dutch specialties, but his dialect was not good.”
