“…a full fledged brass band has also been engaged to discourse promenade music while visitors meander through the various galleries and saloons to inspect the wonders here on exhibition.”
“…Promenade Concerts by a brass band have been added to the attractions of the place.” Does not elaborate further.
“…The play of the evening was ‘Kenilworth,’ an olla podrida of music, singing, dancing, colloquy, puns, sharp couplets and local rhymes… The execution was fine as a whole, and in all the details; popular airs, expressive ditties and all the turns of the dance of dances begin given with frequent encores. Miss Olivia Rand was extremely lovely on the stage, calling down tempests of applause by her singing, which in all cases had to the don’t-you-observe style about it, much to the delight of the audience. She is a star—a perfect impersonation of an old time Earl—and is one of the most popular of all artistes now on the boards. In other respects the entertainment was equally satisfactory.”
