Commentary:

An advertisement was published in Mercy’s Anzeiger 25/1/1857 and repeated on 26/1/1857 announcing:

‘Despatch
from
Lederer’s Beer Hall
Monday and Wednesday
Dance Entertainment [Tanzunterhaltung].
Entrée 20kr.’

The Vergnügungsanzeiger published in the same issue of the newspaper reported that ‘Lederer’s Beer Hall: Grenadier-Music’, and later in that almanac ‘Lederer’s Beer Hall: Dance entertainment.’ Both almanac references and the earlier advertisement were certainly referring to the same event; the ‘Grenadier-Music’ certainly indicated the performance there of the ensemble of the Prague Civil Grenadiers Corps. No further details were given by the source.
