Barnum’s American Museum

“Engaged for a short period Mrs. William Gomersal, the brilliant Soprano Singer, from the principal European theatres, will appear in her charming role of Josephine, in the Musical Drama of the Child of the Regiment.”

“Mr. Barnum has engaged two clever English singers—Mr. and Mrs. Gomersal—who will make their debut at the Museum this evening in the lyric drama of ‘The Child of the Regiment,’ which will played every afternoon and evening of the week. Another musical attraction will be the performance of Miss Dora Dawron, a young lady whose specialty is ‘singing first in the male voice and costume, and then changing instantly to the feminine.’ The ghost piece of the week will be ‘Brunhilde; or, Wake not the Dead,’ in which the ghosts have it all their own way.”

“Miss Dora Dawron, the double-voiced singer, will also appear in her wonderful double-voice and character, singing first in the male voice and costume, and change instantly to the feminine.”
