Review: New-York Times, 24 March 1869, 7.

Long review. “…The piece of itself don’t amount to much….The brightness of Miss Reignolds’ appearance does much to disturb the monotony of an otherwise indifferent performance. Her singing is perhaps a superfluity that might be excused on another occasion; but under the circumstances the audiences is to be pardoned for grasping at anything which helps to relieve the tedium.”
