“Lecture on the Women of Turkey—The marked success which attended Mr. Oscanyan’s lectures on ‘The Women of Turkey,’ has induced him to announce its repetition on Thursday evening, at Niblo’s Saloon.  The intimate acquaintance of the lecturer with his subject, together with the living illustrations, tableaux, Oriental music, etc., make this a most interesting as well as instructive mode of passing an evening.”

“His lecture was illustrated by the introduction of several ladies in a variety of characteristic Turkish costumes.  They gave specimens of the dancing of that country.”
