Announcement: New York Herald, 15 February 1873, 8.

“The rush to see ‘David Garrick’ at Wallack’s is so great that the orchestra has been put out of sight, and chairs are placed in the fiddlers’ places to accommodate the audience.”

Review: New-York Times, 16 February 1873, 4.

“…has gained fresh popularity with repetition, and for some nights past the orchestra has actually been driven from its place, and forced to seek refuge on the stage.”
