“At the Fifth Avenue Theatre the programme for this week will be the same as last week. This arrangemen [sic] gives us ‘La Perichole’ to-night and the ‘Grand Duchess’ to-morrow night.”
“The proramme of last week is announced for repetition at the Fifth Avenue Theater. Six operas—bouffe color—will be done, as before. Last week the attendance was good, and such we presume it will continue to be. Tostee, Irma, Leduc, etc., make a strong combination of comic artists. Both the pieces and the performers, however, are perfectly well known, and the mere announcement of their whereabouts it just now sufficient remark upon them.”
