“Mlle. Turnour, the daring female gymnast, continues to electrify her audiences at Tony Pastor’s Opera House with her perilous feats on the flying trapeze. Many new features have been added to the bills for the present week, not the least of which is the new drama entitled ‘The South in 1868.’”

Review: New York Herald, 14 October 1868, 7.

“Tony Pastor in his managerial career has evinced so much dash, daring and enterprise that every performance of his troupe calls forth happy throngs of pleased auditors. Last evening, despite the outside excitement in the political world, there were so many hundreds present in his little theater that the clog dancing, ballad singing, and Scotch divertissement entitled, ‘MacGregor’s Gathering,’ caused all the enthusiasm that the most anxious manager might desire. During the performance, Miss Millie Turnour, who may in time excel the great Russian athlete Pfau, exhibited her daring, startling, yet graceful feats, evoked the encomiums of the majority of those present. The performance concluded with a drama entitled, ‘The South in 1868,’ which is well worth witnessing.”
