Review: New York Clipper, 10 February 1866, 350.

     Includes receipts from the last several months: August, $6,348.50; September, $6,148; October, $6,544; November, $5,714; December, $5, 896; and January, $5,097.  “This shows that the efforts to please the patrons have not gone unrewarded. . . . The drama is well put on the stage and capitally performed. The miscellaneous performance, consisting of singing, dancing and gymnastic feats, is in the hands of good performers.”
