Review: New-York Times, 26 October 1868, 5.

“There are no important changes to record at the Minstrel Halls—a sufficient indication that the bills are good and popular. At Bryants’, ‘Lucrezia Borgia, M. D.,’ is still the attraction. It will be withdrawn after the present week to make way for a burlesque on ‘La Somnambula.’”
