Positively the 2 last nights of the Cataract [electronic resource] : The reign of perfect joy! is every where extended with the cheerful walls of this real temple of mirth! supported by laughter holding both his sides! Look at this ring and arena display! and hear and believe, (for you may) the uncontrolable enthusiasm of disinterested travellers who have witnessed the spectacle of the Cataract! with all its wonderfully grand, and appalling effects. The general remark is, Americans have no occasion to travel to Europe!! for mere amusement, while they can behold such liberal energy to procure the most finished style of entertainment. On Friday evening March 27th, 1846, ... Friday and Saturday will be the two last nights of the Cataract. Wanted, 20 additional young ladies for the production of a new spectacle, enquire of Mr. Daniel Kelly, principal prompter, at the stage door, between the hours of 10 and 1 o'clock
