“In consequence of the proprietors of Allemania Hall not having taken a license for theatrical performances, Mme. Murio Celli received at a late hour notice from the authorities that her operatic entertainment could not take place without such license being taken, consequently the entertainment has been postponed until Saturday, May 28, when it will positively take place at the Union League Theatre.”

“Those who went to Allemania Hall last night to attend the operatic performance of Madame Celli’s pupils, found the place closed and a placard on the door stating that the concert was postponed until Saturday evening at the Union League Club theatre. This change was in consequence of a prohibition of the performance by the authorities, because the proprietors of Allemania Hall had neglected to take out a license.”
