“Sheridan & Mack’s Variety Combination furnished the entire entertainments presented at Wood’s Museum during the past week. They were greeted on Monday by a numerous attendance, which subsequently gradually diminished, until at the close of the week a mere handful of people, so to speak, were present. The patrons of this theatre evidently care little for variety entertainments, the highly-seasoned sensational drama better suiting their tastes.” Program changes since last week.
