“[A]ll dramas, comedies, and burlesques will be produced in a scale of magnificence heretofore unknown in the United States. . . . [F]or the last month, artists, musicians, costumers and carpenters have been busily engaged in order to perfect every arrangement.”
“First appearance of Mr. and Mrs. Barney Williams, the celebrated comedians and original impersonations of Irish and Yankee life. . . . Mr. and Mrs. Barney Williams will appear, supported by a highly talented company. The pieces mounted with all the adjuncts of new scenery, costumes, accession and music proverbial to this popular establishment.”
No mention of music. The public appreciate the “genuine Celtic humor and mellifluous brogue of Barney Williams and the inimitable Yankee drollery of his charming wife. . . . The house was crammed from pit to dome.”
