Review: New-York Times, 03 December 1866, 4.

“At this popular [illeg.] singular and novel spectacle is presented every night, and will be for some time to come. It is known among the people by the significant title of the ‘Black Crook,’ but might quite as well be called the ‘Yellow Dog’ or the ‘Piebald Pigeon.’ Its attraction consists in a series of very artistic tableaux, a vast amount of beautiful ballet dancing, and several spectacular and scenic effects that are far superior to anything ever seen here before. Mlle. Bonfanti, Mlle. Sangalli, Mlle. Betty Rigal, the three premieres danseuses are admirable exponents of three totally distinct types of dancing, and are well worth setting; so is the ‘Black Crook.’
