“‘Mother Hubbard,’ with its burlesque whimsicalities and pantomimic tricks, bids fair to run throughout the entire season at Wallack’s. The ballet of bewitching brunettes and natural blondes is to all intents and purposes just the style of performance suited for the summer solstice.” Continues positively; no mention of music.
“The Lauri Ballet at Wallack’s[,] the Clodoche Troupe at Niblo’s Garden, and the Kiralfy Troupe at the Olympic, concentrate the attention of those who care for dancing. We are glad to remark, however, that stage-dancing has at length fallen to its proper level as a mere subsidiary incident."
