 * Many sources confuse when the play was first performed. Certainly we can confirm performances in 1872.  But some sources, e.g,  claim it was first performed in Rochester in 1873, which is wrong but must have been the understanding for some time.
 * 1917 show which performed part of the play (among other old plays)
