Gives program and performers. “…Although thousands have already experienced the exciting and startling effects of the piece [Stephens’ Escape], it is certain that thousands will flock to witness its representation during the holidays. The favorite danseuse, Miss Florence Wells, and the popular Gorenfio Sisters make their first appearance this evening; Tony Pastor sings a new song, ‘The Belle of Central Park.’…A grand tableau will be witnessed after the play, and an abundance of song and music.”
