Review: New York Clipper, 19 November 1870, 262.

“Miss Bessie Sudlow was elegantly costumed and sang her selections so satisfactorily that she received a double encore.” “James Wambold is popular with the frequenters of this house and is nightly encored in his banjo solos and songs. Mr. Dave Braham, leader of the orchestra, and Mons. La Thorne, stage manager, are both deserving of praise for excellence in their departments.”
