Citations

“All the critics praise it. Our rivals are jealous of its success. All classes of society [lists various professions, age groups, and economic classes] are lavish in their praise of Petroliamania, the greatest triumph ever achieved in the annals of minstrelsy.”
3)
“‘Oil on the Brain’ has been running finely for four weeks at Wood’s Minstrels, and the flow in that direction is not likely to stop for some time yet. The piece is well worked up, and is certainly a novelty on the minstrel boards.”
