Review: New York Clipper, 22 November 1873, 270.

“…The Bryant specialty of ‘Tin-pan-o-ni-on,’ introducing Eugene as a burlesque prima donna, with Dan as the conductor, was served up as the finale to the first part, in which the only other change was ‘My Little One’s Waiting for Me,’ pleasingly sung by William Dwyer. Although the financial troubles have interfered somewhat with the attendance, yet a good business has been done. In the olio, Morrissy [sic] and Emerson performed a song-and-dance entitled ‘My Gal.’”
