“On Saturday evening last, Feb. 9th, the ‘Black Crook’ reached its own hundred and fifty-fourth representation at Niblo’s Garden, and strange as it may appear, this extraordinary spectacle is nightly witnessed by audiences nearly as crowded as when the piece was first introduced here.

The legs of the ballet continue to draw,

And the lean-looking ‘slaves’ provokes a guffaw.”
