“The Tammany continues to hold its own, and is one of those places of amusement that should be visited by all strangers before leaving the city. There is no other place of amusement in America where so much is to be seen, and the prices of admission places it within the reach of all. The entertainment continues the same as marked the opening week. Lizzie Kelsey is playing the Queen instead of Ida Geddes. The Lauris appear in the pantomime, but do about the same old tricks they did at Wallack’s theatre.”
