“…every theatre in the city contributes talent such as will render the performances most attractive and amusing. The whole affair will be under the direction of Mr. Augustin Daly and this, together with the worthy object of the benefit, ought to draw large audiences. No more worthy charity exists in the city to-day, and with the prospects of a hard winter starting us in the face an opportunity is here offered to all persons to do something for the poor little orphans who are cast upon the charity of the world.”
