“The Worrell sisters appear in a new bill at Wood’s theatre, Broadway, this evening, when will be presented the fairy extravaganza entitled The Invisible Prince, or the Island of Tranquil Delights.  The performances commence with Crossing the Line. Manager Wood announces also the appearance, in a short engagement, of the Nicolo Troupe, in feats on the flying trapeze, revolving globes and perpendicular ladders.”

Announcement: New York Clipper, 09 June 1866, 70.

Those pleasing little people—the Worrell Sisters—are to appear in new characters this week at Wood’s Theatre, where they have become established favorites with the habitués of that neat place of public resort.  They are to show themselves in ‘The Invisible Prince,’ and Jennie and Irene are also to appear in the farce of ‘Crossing the Line,’ and give their double clog dance, which alone is worth a trip from Canada to witness.”

Review: New York Clipper, 16 June 1866, 78.

Does not mention music; focuses on a trapeze act that preceded “The invisible prince.”
