Review: New York Herald, 26 July 1867, 4.

“An attractive and varied programme, with a good company and a well ventilated hall, are serving to draw large houses nightly to this long established and popular place of entertainment. The company is undoubtedly one of the best variety combinations that has been presented to a New York audience for some time. Mlle. Amalie Zuccoli continues to please the patrons with her elegant and graceful performance in the ballet, while Ada Tesman, Master Barney and Johnny Quinn are the recipients of well earned compliments for their efforts in their respective roles.”
