Review: New York Clipper, 25 October 1873, 238.

“The present season at the Lyceum Theatre is to close with the performances of Saturday evening, Oct. 25. It is again reported that Mr. Charles Fechter will become the manager…Another rumor says that the notice posted in the green-room, announcing the closing of the season on Oct. 25, is only a ruse to get rid of the ballet, chorus people, etc., who hold written engagements for six months…”
