Review: New York Herald, 27 March 1867.

“Amusements. Tony Pastor’s Opera House. The varied and attractive programme offered to the pleasure seeking public at this popular place of amusement continued nightly to attract full houses. After the usual complement of negro eccentricities, comic melodies, ballet and clog dancing and acrobatic feats, a new scenic historical drama, the Scotch Hero, was presented, with appropriate scenery and costumes. An exhibition of Hindoo sports, given by Mr. Armstrong, was received with great applause.”
