Review: New York Clipper, 29 July 1871, 134.

“in the underground parlor scene, Miss Kate Byron say a song which met with the approval of the audience. John O’Neill sang an Irish song and danced a jig, which was loudly re-demanded and cheerfully accorded. Mr. Russell sang a medley of popular airs, the words of which were placed in a very comical juxtaposition. It convulsed the audience with laughter and was loudly applauded.”
