“THE COMPLIMENTARY DRAMATIC ENTERTAINMENT to Mr. Ed. Hannah on May 27th, was a decided success.  Miss Jennie, a very fine vocalist, acquitted herself in the part of Jenny Lind very cleverly. Mr. George Gordon and Henry J. Conway were all that could be wished for in their respective parts. ‘The Fat Man’ was indeed very funny, and well made up. Mr. Hannah, the beneficiaire, appeared to advantage as Robert Shell; he possesses a fine voice, and good elocutionary powers.”
