“James Budworth is the comic, and his brother in the sentimental and vocal parts, assisted by their very lively companions, kept the audience at the Fifth Avenue Opera House well entertained.”
“A very fine bill was presented at this house last evening before an audience which, though not numerous, was of the most respectable class. The comicalities of the Budworths and the dancing and instrumentation of the rest of the company made up a very entertaining and highly refined performance. J. H. Budworth’s imitations of prominent actors still remain a popular feature of the entertainment, and, with several new acts of remarkable comicality, give complete satisfaction to the patrons of the Opera House.”
