“La Rose de Saint Flour, with its charming music by Offenbach, who is the most popular of the lighter modern composers, will be given.”

Review: New-York Times, 20 February 1863, 5.
Long article/review, comparing French character to American/English character in regards to light comedy and vaudeville. “The performances at this house on Tuesday evening were excellent. . . . ‘La Rose de St. Flour,’ a charming little operetta in one act, filled the measure of the evening’s entertainment. . . . . . . We notice also that the theatre has been newly painted and decorated, and that additions have been made of new scenery, and also a new drop-curtain; the latter has certainly been long needed.”
