Review: New York Clipper, 20 September 1873, 196.

“…In the third act, during a carnival scene, Mme. Lanner’s troupe of children performed a dance called ‘The Revels of the Imps,’ the California Quartet were encored for their excellent singing, and little Fay Templeton sang a medley of the popular songs of the period with charming and piquant effect. Her enunciation was very distinct, and her emphasis of the words wonderfully correct. She more than confirmed the good opinion we had formed of her abilities from witnessing her previous performance of Puck. She was several times recalled, and it seemed that the audience would never tire of her…” No further mention of music.
