Review: New York Clipper, 15 March 1873, 398.

“Miss Blanche Selwyn, character change vocalist, was the only fresh appearance that we saw. She appeared in entirely new male costumes, which were elegant and of almost faultless fit. A marked improvement in her singing since her last appearance was noticeable…’Petit Faust’ was announced during the early portion of the week, but ‘Black Eyed Susan’ was substituted on Wednesday and continued during the remainder of the week.”
