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

“’A Bad Night’s Rest’ is the significant title of a rare and racy piece now being performed by the San Francisco Minstrels at the St. James Theatre. Like many of its excellent predecessors at this establishment it abounds with local hits and the most comical situations. The programme last night was unusually attractive and gave the old favorites a capital opportunity for the display of their varied talents.”
