Review: New York Post, 26 November 1870, 2.

“Miss Minnie Walton, a new member of the troupe, is deserving of a word of praise for her agreeable singing of the popular ballad of ‘Beautiful Dreamer.’”

Review: New York Clipper, 03 December 1870, 278.

“One of the attractive features introduced in the burlesque is Rollin Howard’s song and dance, ‘Let Me Be,’ which is inimitably performed by Miss Lydia Thompson and Harry Beckett.”
