Review: New-York Times, 07 October 1868, 4.

“Mr. Parsloe exhibits his well-known characteristics (including the banjo-playing) in the part of a bootblack. He has nothing whatever to do with the plot of the play, however, and develops no new study of street-boy life.”

Cuts have been made: “Mr. Gaylor has wisely dispensed with the mad dog and Mr. Parsloe's ‘banjo solo.’”

Review: New York Clipper, 17 October 1868, 222.

“Ella Chapman is a pleasing little actress for one of her years, but she requires a great deal more practice before attempting to play the banjo in public. Her accompaniment was very tame, and her Juba to the dancing of Parsloe the same. It requires considerable practice to master this instrument, which she has no doubt found out ere this. . . .The waits between all the acts were unnecessarily long, and had it not been for the excellent music furnished by Mr. Tissington and his orchestra, many persons would no doubt have left before the play was half over.”
