Description of sets for The Fenian’s dream. “[A] racy budget of comicalities, songs, dances, and so forth.”
“The Buffalo Boys do a good clog dance and Master Berry is clever in song and dance. Willis Armstrong, Billy Reeve, and Johnny Wild make a good team in burnt cork.”
“Another full house, composed largely of ladies, greeted Tony Pastor last evening at his neat bandbox of a theatre, No. 201 Bowery opposite Spring street. The performances, from first to last, were received by the audience with sturdy rounds of applause. This was all the more noticeable when the new Irish drama, The Fenian’s Dream, was produced. Mr. Reeve, as a leading Fenian, slightly disguised, was very good, as were Mlle. Bertha, Miss Rushton, and Miss Blanche Stanley. Tony Pastor’s Opera House is a comfortable, well warmed and well ventilated place of amusement, where the visitor receives the worth of his money without having his sensibilities shocked by language and performances which would do no credit to a pretty waiter girl concert hall.”
