Review: New-York Times, 15 November 1872, 7.

“Bryant’s Minstrels are now representing a burlesque on ‘King Carrot,’ which may be commended to splenetic persons as a great deal more amusing than the gorgeous spectacle it caricatures. They interpret, besides, the familiar musical programme which invariably prefaces the miscellaneous portion of a minstrel entertainment; and in the latter part of the evening, Mr. Dan Bryant, Messrs. Kelly and Leon, and a host of able associates, appear in a selection of laughable acts. Bryant’s Minstrels appeal to patronage not only by a capital bill, but by the elegance of the theatre in which their performances are given. Minstrelsy has, in no part of the world, so bright and cheerful a home as that which the opera-house, in West Twenty-third street, has, for the past two years, given it in this City.”
