Review: New York Herald, 15 December 1862, 2.
“Bryant’s, Christy’s, Campbell’s and Wood’s have, as is the case with them usually, been filled to overflowing during the past week. These performances attract large crowds, and really merit the patronage they receive, the managers displaying great care in varying the programmes.”
