Review: New York Clipper, 28 November 1874, 278.

“…Frank Jones performed banjo-solos, and later in the evening gave his act entitled ‘The Musical Moke,’ during which he performed upon a great variety of musical instruments, winning much deserved applause. H. T. Mudge in his Ethiopian specialties likewise won the favor of his auditors…Business good.”
