“By popular desire, the beautiful pantomime of Vol Au Vent will open the entertainment, in which the great A.M. Hernandez performs upon fourteen different instruments. As a consequence of producing the above piece, the usual minstrel performance will be withdrawn for the present. . . . The pantomime of the Green Monster . . . will be produced on Monday next.”
