“‘School’ will be presented at this theater [Wallack’s Theater] to-night. It has had a London success, and, from what we read about it, we judge that its success is richly deserved. Mr. Wallack has made ample preparations for its presentation with appropriate and beautiful accessories. [Lists cast.] A large attendance and a brilliant representation may be anticipated.”
Positive review; no mention of music. Notes that Clara Jennings plays “the Cinderella of the story—and the story, by the way, illustrates Cinderella’s experience,” but does not provide the name of her role. (The rest of the role names are italicized, which means “Cinderella” here indicates a character type.)
“Miss Effie Germon is very ill, although she continues to act on in ‘School [sic, no close quotation marks]. Much credit, and every requisite allowance, is due to a performer who thus conquers pain to fulfill duty and please the public.”
