Review: New York Herald, 31 May 1867, 3.
“A new Hibernian drama of ‘intense interest,’ entitled McMurrough’s Sword, in which a number of the chivalry of the Emerald vent patriotism and anti-Anglican to an alarming extent, takes possession of the boards at this popular east side establishment this week. Tony sings new songs by the dozen, the ballet is charming as ever, the boneless wonder performs extraordinary feats and the rest of the programme is as varied and amusing as ever.”
