Review: New York Herald, 29 December 1864, 5.

No mention of music.  Review of Tuesday evening performances.  The house “was filled, but not to that uncomfortable extent of Monday night, which was, par excellence, the Christmas festival.”  Works included: “Aladdin, Orlando Vendorme, Four Lovers and the Sprit of Seventy-six—combining between them a feast of fairy spectacle, amusing pantomime and patriotic inspiration.”
