Review: New York Herald, 02 July 1867, 7.

“Each night's performance helps to sustain the good opinion first expressed of Mr. Dan Bryant as a delineator of Irish characters. Without adopting the usual clap-trap strainings after effects so much resorted to by actors who essay this difficult line of acting, his playing is effective and forcible, and no occasion is ever allowed to pass of making in his own quiet, natural way those telling points which make up the sum of good acting. His Shamus O'Brien is natural, and his singing and dancing were gone through each night with 'raal ould Irish' vim. The amusing farce of the Irish Baron, with Mr. Bryant as Paddy McCarthy, concluded an excellent night’s entertainment.”
