“The management take pleasure in announcing an engagement for a limited number of nights with the distinguished and popular artists, ROSE and HARRY WATKINS, who will inaugurate a complete change in the style of entertainment so universally prevalent in the dramatic world by the production of A NEW COMIC DRAMA, ILLUSTRATING SOME OF THE PECULIAR PHASES OF NEW YORK SOCIETY. The performance will commence with the new comic drama in three acts, illustrative of man’s fickleness and woman’s resolve to win a husband, entitled CAUGHT AT LAST.”
No mention of music. “The drama, which is in three acts, is said to be a story of New York society, and is illustrative of man’s fickleness and woman’s steadfast determination. It will doubtless prove highly interesting and acceptable, especially to strong-minded women and their admirers.”
Positive review, only mention of music that Mrs. Watkins “displayed much ability and a great deal of comprehensiveness, and fully merited the applause bestowed upon her efforts. Her part was interspersed with several popular songs, which she rendered satisfactorily.”
