Announcement: New-York Daily Tribune, 19 March 1869, 4.

“The distinguished German actress, Fanny Janauschek, will, we learn, play another engagement in this city, at the Academy of Music, beginning on Monday, March 29. This is welcome news, to many American play-goers as well as the German population. Miss Janauschek, of course, performs in German. But genius has a universal language, and the heart of mankind always hears its voice.”
