Review: New-York Times, 10 June 1873, 4.

“We have now to mention that the entertainments in question were commenced on Saturday evening, when the vast auditorium was thronged, and that a concert is to occur every night until further notice. Mr. F. I. Eben is the conductor, and his orchestra is fifty strong. The labors of the band and its chief ought to be highly attractive and acceptable to East-side lovers of music.”
