Review: New York Herald, 12 November 1868, 3.

“The already numerous attractions at this favorite place of amusement have been further strengthened this week by the addition of the celebrated ‘Ethiopian Meteor and Black Diamond,’ Mr. J. C. Campbell, to the number of favorites, and the engagement of ‘the great antipodean aerialist,’ Mr. Framk Gibbons. Both have proved good cards and drawn crowded houses and loud plaudits for their several performances. The former, in his clever delineations of Sambo, his grotesque acting and the thorough looseness with which he throws himself into his part, being more than once encored, and the latter by his daring feats on ‘the altivoient circle,’ his fearlessness and precision startling into breathless attention and admiration the whole house and winning repeated thunders of applause for his coolness, skill and couage. In addition to the above, a new Hibernian drama entitled ‘Ireland After Dark,’ is likewise presented, bringing in the full strength of the company. It abounds in precisely that kind of attractions which make the success of a piece here—broad fun, thrilling combats and grand tableaux. Toney [sic] himself comes out strong, as usual, in his lively repertoire, to which is added a new song.”
