Review: New York Post, 17 March 1870, 2.

“The Telbin panorama of the Killarney Lakes region, as exhibited in Innisfallen, was also introduced, and proved an agreeable interlude, brightened by the pleasant singing of Miss Hughes, who sang behind the scenes, Balfe’s ballad of ‘Killarney.’”

Review: New-York Times, 17 March 1870, 5.

“The fact that Telbin’s very beautiful panorama of the Lakes of Killarney is inserted is exhibited in Mr. Brougham’s drama, as it was in Mr. Falconer’s, is worth noting, and so is the agreeable result of Miss Jennie Hughes’ singing of Balfe’s ballad, the interpretation of which was ascribed erroneously, some time ago, to a less gifted member of the Company.”
