Review: New York Post, 20 July 1869, 2.

Positive review. Mentions the orchestra as it pertains to the next scheduled play: “On Monday evening next the Worrell Sisters will appear in a new burlesque, entitled ‘Lalla Rookh,’ supported by their burlesque company. It is to be hoped that they will bring an orchestra with them. Five musicians besides the conductor can hardly be said to constitute an efficient orchestra; yet that is the precise strength of the present orchestra of Wood’s Museum.”
