Review: New-York Times, 12 January 1863, 5.

"Their programme is a most attractive one, combining negro minstrelsy proper with incidental ‘varieties,’ concluding with a burlesque opera, the music of which is most artistically rendered, while the libretto is so comicalized that cachinnation is forced from the audience during the entire rendition. ‘Lucretia Borgia’ has a most successful run last week.”
