"Campbell’s Minstrels . . . are meeting with abundant success to justify the continuance of their season. Their performances are equal in variety and character to those of any other similar company in the city. They give, in addition to their evening performances, an afternoon concert every Saturday.”

Review: New York Herald, 15 December 1862, 2.
“Bryant’s, Christy’s, Campbell’s and Wood’s have, as is the case with them usually, been filled to overflowing during the past week. These performances attract large crowds, and really merit the patronage they receive, the managers displaying great care in varying the programmes.”
