Citations

“Some complicated machinery to be used in ‘Hamlet’ not being ready, that tragedy is postponed for a week at Booth’s Theatre, and Mr. Hackett is to fill the nights with his much admired representation of Falstaff in the ‘Merry Wives of Windsor.’”
3)
“In consequence of the preparations necessary to be made for the production of HAMLET and GUY MANNERING, the usual SATURDAY MATINEES will be postponed until further notice.”

Notes that “[l]overs of Shakespeare who fail to visit Booth’s Theatre this week… will miss such a treat as is seldom offered them nowadays.”
