Review: New-York Daily Tribune, 20 August 1872, 8.

“It calls for more or less incidental, illustrative music, and this—as is usually the case—was too loud. Let us here remark, as a hint to band leaders in general, that the public does not attend theaters for the purpose of hearing a concert, but for the purpose of seeing and hearing a play.”
