Notes that it would be “impossible” to view all of the curiosities at Wood’s Museum and take in one of the dramatic performances in a single day.

Review: New York Herald, 06 April 1870, 7.

“This last sensation in burlesque, after the necessary pruning and changes which it has undergone, is now in splendid running condition and bids fair to be the feature of the season at this establishment… Misses Wood and Bernard’s dancing receives much applause, and the mounting, mise en scene and appointments leave nothing to be desired.”

Review: New York Clipper, 16 April 1870, 14.
