“Variety, and plenty of the same, is the order at the Bowery Theatre.  Scarcely has one production been satisfactorily mounted and received the unanimous approbation of crowded houses when another, more powerful and startling, is substituted.  The Bowery Theatre is like one vast panorama where the different aspects of human life are vividly and rapidly depicted.  Manager Freleigh announces the appearance of Miss Sallie Parkington in the drama of the Red Scarf and also the revival of O’ Neal the Great, or the Hags of War, with new scenery and effects.”

Review: New-York Times, 01 December 1868, 4.

“At the Bowery Theatre a new drama by the author of Under the Gaslight, entitled, The Red Scarf, was produced last night. Miss SALLIE PARTINGTON appeared as the heroine, whose chief duty in the play is to rescue her lover from being cut to chips in a sawmill. Neither the piece nor the actress call for any special remarks. They are of the class most liked by the intelligent audiences usually to be found at this popular theatre.”
