“Miss Annie Adams, serio-comic vocalist, was the only fresh appearance at the Theatre Comique since our last report. She sang in a vigorous and vivacious manner a number of fresh songs, which were lavishly applauded, and she was several times re-called.” “After the conclusion of the performance Mr. Hart causes his orchestra to play vivacious music until the audiences have left the theatre, which has a pleasing effect.”
