Review: New York Clipper, 14 June 1873, 86.

“Lulu Delmay, who sang serio-comic songs, was several times recalled. She is petite, pretty, was tastefully costumed, and sang well…Young America, clad in elegant female costume, sang a burlesque aria, and took the audience completely by surprise by turning a somersault.”
