“The ghost is still doing good service on the east side of town, the two Bowery theatres giving it nightly as a standard dish. That it greatly helps to swell the receipts of both houses, admits of no question. One cause of the continued success of the ghost at the two Bowery theatres is the fact that the ghost effects are produced in most excellent style, and about every variety of shadow [is] exhibited. The illusion is certainly a marked success on the east side.”
