Review: New-York Times, 15 August 1868, 4.

Brief: “Whatever may be said of the merits of the piece itself, it has certainly succeeded in drawing good audiences, and of a better class than have been in the habit of attending this theatre recently. There are several familiar faces in the cast which New-Yorkers like to look upon, and this, no doubt, contributes materially to the success of the piece.”

Brief: “The attendance at the Broadway is very light, and that at the New York not much better.”
