Description "The graceful dancing of the favorite, My Fancy, the Leslie Brothers in their side-splitting comicalities, and Charles Godfrey's well-known descriptive songs seemed to obtain and merit the greater part of the admiration and applause. Sala the Armenian gun-spinner created much excitement, and some trepidation, by his feats with guns of heavy calibre. The performance ended with a farce, Love, Divorce, and Poison."
