Humpty Dumpty is attracting full houses at the Olympic and ‘standing room only’ is obtainable by those unlucky wights who have the misfortune to be late. This pale but interesting individual is soon to be thoroughly reconstructed in scenes, tricks, etc…”

Review: New York Clipper, 26 September 1868, 198.

“The Olympic, with Humpty Dumpty, is repeating the success of the Black Crook at Niblo’s a season before last, the Olympic scarcely affording room for the many who seek admittance, while Barbe Bleue at Niblo’s is being played to comparatively slim audiences. Such are the changes in theatrical business.”
