 President Ulysses S. Grant, who attended a performance on September 17, 1875 with Secretary George M. Robeson, General Orville E. Babcock, and former-Attorney General George Henry Williams, “seemed to be much pleased with the brilliant spectacle”.After the production closed in October at the Academy of Music, it went on tour to the outer boroughs for two weeks, until it reached the Brooklyn Academy of Music, during Christmas week in 1875.Yet, like "The Deluge", this Kiralfy Brothers production did not end here.
