Review: New York Herald, 05 January 1868, 5.

“At this cosey and elegant place of entertainment last night Scribe’s capital comedy, entitled ‘Bataille des Dames,’ was repeated to a large and fashionable audience. [The performers] were each exceedingly happy in the presentation of their respective characters, and repeatedly elicited deserved applause. . . . The applause, frequent and hearty, was sufficient evidence of the success of the piece and a grateful tribute to the efforts of the actors.”
