On 1/1/1857 the Vergnügungsanzeiger section of Mercy’s Anzeiger noted ‘Today Thursday... Apollo Hall: Music and Misty pictures’. No further details were given by the source. The title most likely was a colourful description given to a popular, typical musical entertainment rather than signifying that music was to be played in conjunction with any exposition of art. Such imaginative titles were commonly given to social musical and dance entertainments at the time, perhaps to attract public attendance.
