Review: New York Herald, 18 March 1868.

“The ‘Grand Duchess’ still reigns with undiminished popularity and power at this charming little theatre, and crowded houses are the rule with very little exception during the present and past weeks.”

“But few opportunities remain for the public to applaud either Mlle. Tostée, Mlle. [sic] De Felcour or Mlle. Fleury-Longchamps in the rôle of the Grand Duchess, which was last evening successfully sustained by the latter.”
