“It would be unjust not to commend, with particular force, all the incidental music of the piece. It was apt and effective.”

Review: New York Clipper, 18 February 1871, 366.

“Just before taking to his couch, where Richelieu simulates death, a trio is sung by the Misses Ada Harland, Lillie Eldridge and Mr. Fox, arranged from the well known song, ‘Put Me in my Little Bed.’”
