“Tony Pastor gives more hope to the people of the ‘oppressed nationalities’  at his Opera House in the Bowery, during one evening, than would all the statesmen of the Old World during the next dozen years if left to follow their own inclinations. . . . The burlesque, dances and music are of a very attractive character.”

“Tony Pastor will sing his new song, ‘The Canadian Scare, or the Fenian Yankee Doodles.’  William Carleton will bring forward his new specialties, and the Belle of the Village is beautiful as ever.”
