Review: New York Clipper, 09 November 1872, 254.

“The introduced double songs and dances performed by Lillie Hall and Jennie Worrell met with much favor. Mackin and Wilson, in character songs and dances, were likewise well received, and proved themselves to be excellent performers. Among the other attractive features of the programme were Miss Ada Wray’s serio-comic songs; dancing, by Kitty O’Neil; a Dutch lecture, by D. L. Morris; and Frank Kerns, John Hart, John Wild, and others, in sketches.”
