Review: New York Herald, 01 July 1875, 7.

“The Olympic has an excellent bill on its boards this week. Master Martin furnishes a comic drama of the Darwinian order, in which the hero is a monkey. Add Ryman, a very funny representative of the Ethiopian boards, and ‘The Big Four,’ a mystic quartet of Momus [Lester, Allen, Smith, and Waldron], were features in a well-varied programme.”
