Long and positive review, no mention of music. “While on the subject of general liberality displayed in the way of production, we may mention that the Morlacchi ballet troupe—undoubtedly the best in America—supplies the Terpsichorean element in profusion. It is the only fashion of the day which we would care to see eliminated.”
