“’Black Raven of the Tombs!’  It sounds awful, doesn’t it?  Well, it’s better than it sounds, and they are doing it this week at Butler’s American. 444 Broadway, with all its strange effects and weird-like music.”

Review: New York Clipper, 27 February 1864, 363.

“The Ravel pantomime of ‘Mazulm.’ performed at this house last week as an afterpiece, was placed on the stage in capital style.”
