Review: New-York Times, 01 July 1870, 4.

“…the plot is hardly credible enough to gain the profound sympathy of an audience. This was shown on Monday by the laughter that greeted some of the more serious passages, and by the heartiest applause being accorded to the breakdowns, banjo-playing and not over-clever songs…[Cavender’s] singing, dancing, &c., were, on this occasion, much relished by the audience, and will, no doubt, be of valuable service in gaining for Miss Cavender a favorable reception…”
