Review: New York Clipper, 11 February 1865, 350.
“My! Have you been there lately? Why! It’s a jam! What with Charley White’s niggerisms, Tony Pastor’s comic songs, the dancing of the girls, and all the other performances peculiar to a music hall, the American gives an entertainment well worthy of the patronage so liberally extended to this house.”
