Review: New York Clipper, 25 July 1863, 115.
“That night [WED 07/15/63] was a blank in the history of the drama in the ‘great city of New York.’  Not a single dramatic representation was given here that evening.  Nearly every place of amusement was closed. . . . The New Idea also closed on Tuesday evening."
