Review: New York Clipper, 02 January 1864, 302.
“Christmas was a grand gala day at our various theatres, minstrel and music halls, all being crowded to repletion, the east side theatres fairly boiling over afternoon and evening . . . pantomime, canine performances, and sensation plays crowding in the people at the New Bowery.  The holiday week will put money in the purses of managers generally.”
