Review: New York Herald, 16 April 1872, 7.

“There was no lack of variety in the entertainment presented at this temple of minstrelsy last evening. Charley Backus, D. S. Wambold, Billy Birch and J. F. Oberist did their best to keep the audience in a state of reckless hilarity, and succeeded in provoking laughter beyond all bounds of moderation.”
