“Miss Lisa Weber has certainly gratified her friends and disappointed her enemies by showing that it was not impossible for one and the same person to kick her Leo’s in the French can-can, and to make a very proper and praiseworthy Ariel—to sing “Captain Jinks’ or ‘Walking Down Broadway,’ with the appropriate Grecian bend and wink at the audience, and to perform the very difficult, quaint, Handel-like music that Purcell has written to the Shakespearean ballads in this play.”
