Review: New York Post, 03 March 1868.

“The directors of the French Theatre were compelled last Saturday evening to substitute ‘Un troupier qui suit les bonnes’ for ‘Les Lionnes pauvres,’ which had been announced on the bills, and right merrily did Edgard make it go off.” Positive review follows; no mention of music.
