Review: New York Clipper, 17 February 1866, 358.

     “The musical drama of the ‘Mountain Devil’ was the afterpiece, in which Josh Hart, Laura Le Clair and Johnny Wild convulsed the audience with laughter by fighting a broadsword combat. Collins and Goodwin do good song and dance.  Tony Pastor is a great favorite, and is nearly a whole show within himself. He is constantly adding new songs to his already extensive repertoire.  Every night he is called out from four to six times.”
