Review: New York Clipper, 21 October 1865, 222.

“Mr. Budworth performs double duty every night.  He appears on the end at Wood’s Minstrels in the first part, and then goes to the Olympic and appears in the street scene in the third act as the boot black.  He makes a hit in his imitations of Edwin Forrest and Barney Williams, which are as good as anything of the kind we have seen done by any one.”
