Announcement: New York Herald, 01 January 1865, 4.
“Mr. Lester will appear in it, and as this will be his first appearance since the death of his father, it has been arranged between all the managers of the city to distinguish it as an especial occasion in honor of the memory of the deceased manager, and in recognition of his son as a worthy successor.  Every manager in the city will be at Wallack’s on Tuesday night, and the occasion will be a remarkable one in theatrical annuals.”

Review: New York Herald, 04 January 1865, 4.
No mention of music.  “The audience was the largest ever assembled at this theatre, and more persons went from the doors unable to gain admittance than were in the theatre.”
