Review: New-York Daily Tribune, 02 March 1863, 5.
“The second matinee at the French Theater, last Saturday, was better attended than the first, and the performances were received with even greater gratification. Offenbach’s operette ‘La Rose de St. Flour,’ especially, excited infinite laughter. The acting of Messrs. Juignet and Edgard, and Miss Anna Hamburg in this piece is so capital, and the music is so exceedingly graceful and fresh that it ought really be demanded in frequent repetition.”
