Sanford's new Opera House!: Race St., between Second and Third Sts. Card to the public Mr. Sanford begs leave to call attention to the above place of amusement, (late Mr. J.E. M'Donough's Olympic.) Having secured a lease on liberal terms, he most respectfully announces that he will open as above, on Monday evening, Nov. 14th, 1864. Being persuaded by many influential families, and the solicitation of many friends, to locate again in this city (having searched in vain for a site on Chestnut Street.) has at last decided on Race Street, that being the only available situation already constructed--having undergone a thorough renovation. The advantage of the city railway cars makes it as central as any other place of amusement, and more adapted for the performance of minstrelsy! It possesses more stage room and scenery than his late Eleventh Street Opera House, thus enabling him, together with the cheap rent, to produce a superior performance ... Our motto will be nightly--fun, without vulgarity
