Review: New York Herald, 19 March 1867.

“Neither piece has much in itself to make it interesting, and but for the efforts of Mr. and Mrs. Williams, ably seconded, however, by Mr. Charles Peters, the plays would have been quite flat. In the first piece was a very well arranged tableau representing Wilkie Collins’ ‘Snap Apple Night.’ Latest from New York is a lively comedietta, introducing Mrs. Williams in her inimitable representation of a Yankee lass, and Mr. Williams as Phil Mulligan, an Irish mechanic of a free and easy style.”
