Review: New York Clipper, 16 March 1867, 390.

Brief, but parts impossible to read. “A brilliant selection of novelties was presented to the patrons of Charley White’s Variety [illeg.] last week. Among the most notable features were [illeg.] Baldwin in jugglery, Charley White, Frank Kearns, [illeg.] and Dick Ralph in the Ethiopian business; Josh Hall, George Edeson and Laura Le Claire in the farce, as well as the ballet divertissement.”
