Review: New York Clipper, 25 March 1871, 406.

“’Les Georgiennes’ has been performed during the past week at the Grand Opera House. The artists having become familiar with their rôles, the performance is smooth and enjoyable. The music wins upon the popular ear and already the popular airs are being whistled in the streets.”
