Review: New York Clipper, 12 October 1872, 222.

“Courtright and Gilbert, double song and dance performers and grotesque dancers, made their first appearance in this city at White’s Athenaeum on Sept. 30th. They have good voices, and their musical efforts were above the average of song and dance performers, but it is in their dancing that they excel.”
