“The best bill of the season was presented at this theatre last night, and the house was crowded from parquet to dome. There were ten specialty sketches and acts, of which not one was dull…The entertainment combined each extreme of variety, with positive merit, and was one calculated to please the most refined audience, by the entire absence of aught approaching to vulgarity.”
