“The latest novelty in the presentation of the ‘Black Crook’ is a ‘mechanical donkey,’ a new and original character, who is very appropriately assigned to play with Greppo in the last act.  The invention is close enough to reality, and seemed to afford much amusement to the immense crowd of spectators last evening.”
