Jane English and the Troupe St. Denis

“Business at Jane English’s Theatre continues to be very encouraging to the management, so much so, in fact, that on the 3d inst. that very enterprising manageress renewed her lease of Laura Keene’s Theatre for a short season longer.  ‘The Wives of Paris’ is still the principal attraction at this house, and deservedly so; for a more pleasing and varied performance than is given in the two-and-a-half hours as this house, we cannot find elsewhere in New York.  The piece affords every opportunity for the very talented troupe of artistes engaged here, to display their abilities to the fullest extent.  There is no denying the fact, that several of the ladies and gentlemen connected with this theatre are first-class artists, than whom there are no better in the country. . . The sisters Marie and Auguste are growing in favor nightly with their audiences, and most deservedly; for they are very clever representatives of the art Terpischore, and judging from the improvement already evinced since their appearance amongst us, they bid fair to become two of the most finished artistes that trip upon the light fantastic toe, to the delight of the old as well as the rising generation…‘The Wives of Paris’ will continue to be played until Thursday next, when there will be an entire change in the programme, as Mrs. English is determined to offer a bill of such excellence on the occasion of her testimonial, as will ensure for her a full attendance of all those who appreciate woman’s industry.”
