Review: New York Herald, 29 April 1868, 9.

“Last evening the vivacious acting and singing of the three sisters created quite a furore, and each of them received a well deserved encore in their several parts. While Miss Sophie Worrell was singing the solo in the beginning of the third act she was suddenly overcome with weakness and fainted away. She was borne from the stage amid a dead silence; but the play proceeded without further interruption, and upon her re-appearance she was hailed with a perfect storm of applause, which was continued to such a length that she had to bow her acknowledgments several times.”
