Review: New York Herald, 12 January 1867, 4.

“The variety and character of the attractions offered at this popular place of amusement fail not to crowd the capacious hall every with delighted and appreciative audiences. The programme the present week embraces many of the most ludicrous and at the same time the best pieces now done in cork, among which is the burlesque of the African Ballet Troupe. The ballet terminates with an illuminated scene styled the Palace of Dewdrops, which requires no other comment that to say that it was superlatively beautiful.”
