Review: New York Post, 01 February 1870, 2.

“It is a fundamental article in the creed of the modern burlesque actress, that she can sing; and so each of the ladies in ‘Ixion’ has a song. They sing no better, and it would be difficult to say worse, than the ladies, who, clever enough as actresses, persist, in other leading theatres in this city, in showing to their audiences how deficient they are in voice and in vocal culture. Little Clara Fisher is an exception. She warbles prettily, and shows a fair degree of vocal training.”
