Review: New York Clipper, 10 May 1873, 46.

“Frank Jones is a good Ethiopian comedian and an accomplished musician. He met with much favor in his performance of a song-and-dance entitled ‘The Lively Moke,’ and during its performance and several recalls he played solos upon the cornet, mouth harmonicon, whistle, toy violin, toy cornet, double bass, clarionet, cow’s horn, and a whistle the air for which was supplied by a toy balloon.”
