Review: New York Clipper, 05 May 1866, 30.

“…Mr. J.W. Lingard appeared [in The Phorty Thieves] as All-Eye Bah Bah, and sang two or three songs with George Lingard (Gammon Bah Bah) very cleverly, all of which were loudly encored. Mr. George Lingard is a good burlesque actor and possesses a musical voice.”
