“Miss Reignolds appeared last night at the New York Theatre in a new play, a dramatization of a story of Miss Braddon’s, written by Mr. Chandos Fulton and Mr. F. G. Maeder. The play will be continued all this week.”

Review: New York Clipper, 08 August 1867, 134, 2d col., bottom.

“Owing to very bad business, Rose Eytynge brought her engagement to an abrupt termination, at the New York Theatre, on Wednesday, July 24th, and the ‘Black Sheep’ was shelved. Marietta Ravel was engaged at very short notice, to commence on the 25th, but, fearing that she could not pull up the business during the heated term, she concluded not to make the attempt, so Kate Reignolds, with scarcely twenty-four hours’ notice, appeared and filled out the week.”
