“Charley White, notwithstanding his polyglot attractions of Dutch and Irish drama, cannot see the benefit of remaining open next week; consequently the Theatre Comique will probably remain closed until reopened for the regular season, when manager White will present his comedy company for the entertainment of the people.”

Review: New York Clipper, 07 August 1869, 142.

“Robert McWade, supported by a dramatic company, occupied the boards of the Theatre Comique the past week, appearing successfully in a variety of dialect characters. His engagement closed on July 31st.”
