Review: New York Clipper, 19 October 1867, 222.

“Mrs. Sedley Brown looked charming as Alladin, and did her part unexceptionably.  Mr. Leffingwell, as the widow Twankey, was a fair giant in fun, and kept the audience roaring with laughter all the time he was on the scene. . . . The house was well filled by an enthusiastic audience.”
