Review: New York Clipper, 05 December 1863, 267.

“[A]t this house we find a performance different from all other places in the city, combining a little of all sorts in one great bill.  There’s ‘play acting;’ there’s nigger singing; dancing; gymnastics; comic songs. To make you laugh; funny jokes, to amuse you; and so forth. . . . The prize drama called ‘The Mountain Outlaw,’ [has] proved attractive.”
