“Last night there was a crowded house at the Academy down stairs and a goodly representation in the boxes, although about twenty of the last mentioned were not occupied. Nilsson is a charming Lady Henrietta, and especially in the celebrated spinning wheel quartet and in ‘The Last Rose of Summer’ she was irresistible.”
