“The same at Barnum’s, where, just now, any evening in the week you can see have [sic] jolly pantomime, a bloodthirsty drama, a graveyard full of ghosts, and a desert of wizardry, all in about two hours, and quite as good as if, like the shows in the Bowery, they had lasted five or six hours, and sent half peanutdom to the land of Nod.”
