Review: New York Herald, 02 April 1868, 7.

“Cork opera at this house is positively growing in favor. The funny manner in which these droll chaps get off their comicalities would provoke the gravest to smile, while their burlesque setting never fails to excite the merriment of the entire audience. Good singing, ‘Under the Kerosene Lamp’ and the ludicrous capers of the Managing Committee are now the attractions here.”
