Review: New York Clipper, 30 April 1864, 22.
“The Dramatic Fund Association must have been considerably benefited by the several benefits given on Saturday evening, April 23rd. . . . The Stadt Theatre gave ‘Midsummer Night’s Dream’ in the afternoon, and ‘Hamlet’ in the evening. . . . All these entertainments were most liberally patronized.”
