“At the New Idea, Marietta Zanfretta continues to be one of the principal attractions by her graceful movements upon the tight rope. The management offer this week the celebrated Irish comedian Mr. J. Doherty, whose comic songs are said to have the merit of being entirely original. Mr. J. H. Budworth and Little Frank also appear this week in Ethiopian burlesques. Mr. J. Redden, an Ethiopian comedian, also made his formal bow this week.”

AD with review from Sunday Dispatch. “‘The management deserve a ‘special notice’ for the variety of their performances. The programmes are so varied as to present something new every night. Hence the crowded houses all last week. . . . The orchestral music is very fine. In short, we know of no better place of amusement in the city.”
