“In cork burlesque of all kinds this company is without a rival. The ‘Nilsson Concert’ and ‘Rose de St. Fleur’ are still retained on the bill, having proved too strong attractions to be withdrawn. Strange to say, Kelly & Leon have distanced all other managers in the production of the latest works in opera bouffe. Such was the case with ‘Le Petit Faust,’ and on Monday they will introduce the ‘Princess Trebizend’ for the first time in America.”
