Review: New York Herald, 16 October 1872, 9.

“Emerson’s California Minstrels, on Broadway, have been delighting their patrons with a really admirable entertainment which for variety and style it would, indeed, be difficult to excel. Emerson is a host in himself, and what with a good company and judicious management on the part of Mr. T. Maguire nothing is left to be desired.”
