Review: New York Herald, 15 November 1870, 7.

“The humors of the ‘negro delineators,’ the ballet dancing and the antics of the clown and pantaloon in the concluding pantomime are such at this variety hall as are impossible to be excelled at any theatre, even at those in which each is made a speciality.”
