“The Auction of Choice Seats & Private Boxes. Mr. Wood has been so greatly embarrassed during the past fortnight with applications, from personal friends and others, for reserved seats and private boxes, in advance of their public sale, that, as the fairest and most impartial method of disposing them, he now announces that on Monday Morning, April 10, at 10 o’clock, the choice seats of private boxes for the eleven nights of the Kean engagement will be sold at auction, from the stage of the Broadway Theatre.” See also 04/15/65, Articles on the Keans and ticket prices at the Broadway Theatre.
Part of larger article on the reopening of theatres following Lincoln’s assassination. “There are two very important announcements tonight, namely, of the commencement of the German opera, under Mr. Grover’s management, at the Academy of Music, and of the opening of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean at the Broadway Theatre. These enterprises have suffered severely from the late period of grief. . . . Let us hope that the season will terminate brilliantly. Mr. Grover merits success, having done all that lay in his power to produce it. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean may safely be left to themselves.”
