     “We don’t think much of the Foxes in their bill of the week. It is rather stale, somewhat flat, but probably not unprofitable.”

Review: New-York Daily Tribune, 24 August 1866, 5.

     “We have seen [these pantomimes] better acted; but we judge that every good-natured spectator will delight in Mr. G. L. Fox’s exuberance of mischief and vivacity…Whatever he does is sure to amuse the little ones, and they, happily, are not critical.” Music not mentioned.
