“Manager Wood contemplates astonishing New Yorkers at an early day with a new sensation, the like of which they have never before been favored with. It will be in the shape of a novel and amusing spectacular pantomime burlesque, and it is expected that our citizens will succumb at once to its mirth-provoking oddities and novel effects. An extra force of artisans are at present busily employed at the Museum in preparing this new sensation for production.”
