Review: New York Herald, 31 January 1865, 8.
“The house was overcrowded for this little drama has always been a favorite with the public, and the applause and laughter were incessant. Those who have seen the play will find it worth their while to go and see the audience. So many people thoroughly amused; so many smiling, happy faces, are better than any stage display.”
