Announcement: New York Clipper, 25 April 1863, 11.

“One of the most prosperous places of amusement in New York . . . where a very talented company is now engaged. . . . Maffit and Bartholomew are engaged, and will commence on or about the 22nd.  Chas. E. Collins introduces many features in his acts and songs never performed in these parts, and he is one of the trump cards of Mr. Butler’s pack.”
