“[F]ounded on the popular Opera, ‘La Prophete,’ with delightful music, charming scenery, magnificent costumes.”

“At Barnum’s Museum a dramatic version of Meyerbeer’s opera of the ‘Prophete,’ will be revived to-day. It is a stirring and peculiar work, and will no doubt prove very popular. The Boone Family give a morning performance at 11 o’clock—which, by the way, is a capital time to visit the establishment and trifle with the alligators, or sport with the snakes.”
