“Miss Lillian Hylton, vocalist, from England, made her American debut at the Theatre Comique on Aug. 26. She possesses a good figure, a pleasing face, a sweet, powerful voice, and is entitled to good rank among music hall vocalists.” “Billy West’s banjo solos and songs were favorably received and created much merriment.”
