“Holiday week at Barnum’s Museum will be productive of the most pleasing results to the manager and patrons alike. . . . The dramatic company will appear in a new holiday fairy spectacle, called ‘Dwangee the Arab, of the Fairy Guardian of the Well.’ . . . W. B. Harrison, the well known and very popular extemporaneous poet, leaves Barnum’s Museum, in this city, this week, and joined La Rue’s Panopticon of the War, at Pittsburgh, Pa., on January 2d, having been engaged by La Rue, as lecturer, comic singer and general manager.”
