“Those funny little wooden minstrels are to show this week  again . . . when they will make several diabolical sallies at the follies of the day, and sing a number of well-meant ballads in their own style, one of the best of which is founded on that much abused but Devilish ‘Faust.’

Review: New York Post, 21 February 1865.
