Review: New York Herald, 16 February 1863, 8.
“Miss Bateman’s engagement at Niblo’s Garden has been prolonged for one week more, the audiences having fairly taken the house by storm. . . . [T]he play has been somewhat modified and improved. . . . Throughout [the first] four acts Miss Bateman is not great. . . . Her voice is harsh and monotonous, and her action ungraceful and stagy. In the fifth act, however, she redeems her reputation. Her voice, her action, her pantomime, are all touching.”
