Review: New York Clipper, 05 October 1872, 214.

“Gus Williams, in Dutch character songs, written and composed by himself, met with much favor. He is not only an excellent performer but a good composer; possesses a keen perception of wit and humor, and a certain magnetism which quickly communicates it to the audience.”
