“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.”
