Review: New York Herald, 14 September 1868, 4.

“The staunch ‘Old Bowery,’ since its rejuvination appears to have been endowed with a new and brilliant life. Miss Fanny Herring, the popular East side actress, will be the reigning star at this classic temple during the present week and will appear in six different characters in the drama of The Female Detective. The Wickedest Man in the World, and The Wickedest Woman in the World are also upon the bills.”

“The Barber Assassin and the Pie Woman of Bell Yard is one of the latest productions at the Bowery. Where’s the ‘Great American Pie Biter’ now?”
