Review: New York Herald, 06 September 1866, 8.

“There could not be a better proof given of the excellence and popularity of the company now engaged at Bryant’s Mechanics’ Hall than the crowded audience which nightly congregate there.  The entertainment is varied and amusing and of a nature to relax the risible muscles of the veriest Timon.”

Review: New York Herald, 07 September 1866, 10.

“Still continues to draw crowded audiences nightly, who enthusiastically evince their admiration of the bill of fare, which includes overtures, comedies, dramas and quite a combination of novelties.  Miss Laura Le Clair and Mr. J. Hart have been successful in comedy.  The entertainment last evening concluded with the farce of the Stage Struck Chambermaid, in which Miss Hart and Miss Le Clair acted with their usual success.”
