Review: New York Herald, 24 August 1868, 4.

“‘Firefly’ holds its own at Wallack’s and enters this evening upon the third week of its successful career. The piece itself, with its one character and a half and three regiments of ‘supers,’ can never be expected to improve, but the acting can, and does, and that answers the purpose for the present just as well.” Goes on in the same manner; praises Crabtree. No mention of music.
