Review: New York Clipper, 15 February 1873, 366.

“Healy and Conway performed songs and dances which met with much favor, they being several times recalled, and later in the evening, with little Miss Ella Saunders, performed a triple [illegible] clog, which was distinguished for rapidity of execution and precision of time. Little Alice Bennett sang some ballads, which, considering her youth, deserve much praise.”
