“The Summer Season of Pantomime at Barnum’s closes this week, and on the 3d of Sept. commences the regular fall and winter season in the Lecture room.”
“The Fox Brothers have retired from the Museum, leaving the stage in charge of Mr. Corson W. Clarke, a veteran actor, whose Drunkard and other character parts entitled him in other days to the enthusiastic regard of his [illeg.] friends and admirers. To-day Mr. Barnum introduces a new company, in which we notice the names of many old favorites, who will appear in ‘Money’ and the ‘Old House on the Bridge,’ to-day and evening.”
No mention of music; favorable review of Lone house on the bridge.
