“The Magic Horn . . . New Music, Tricks, Transformations, Tableaux, &c. . . . The beautiful Ballet Divertissement, entitled, Gezelle. First week of the engagement of the favorite Danseuse, Miss Mary Parrington.”
In “Amusements This Evening.” Additional works. Ballet is listed as Giselle.
“There was an entire change of performance last week at 444, comprising new songs, new dances, new sets, a new pantomime, new banjo solos and a new ballet. Charley White, Johnny Thompson, Kerns and Lew Brimmer were in the burnt cork department; Lucy Clinetop was very pleasing in a fancy dance called ‘La Maid;’ Lizzie Schultze and Millie Flora excelled in the ballet of Giselle; Billy Holmes was on hand with his budget of comic songs, while the pantomime of the ‘Magic Horn’ was in the hands of all the company, who did justice to the dumb play.”
