“…Gus Williams met with an enthusiastic reception on his reappearance, and evoked loud and long-continued applause by his singing of fresh Dutch songs…Miss Jennie Leslie, from the London music halls, has made her metropolitan debut, and sang serio-comic songs, which did not meet with much favor. Fred. J. Mackley, likewise from England, also made his metropolitan debut, and sang character songs interlarded with dancing. His style is hardly calculated to please American audiences. The West Sisters, in a new musical sketch entitled ‘A Trip to Long Branch,’ were well received. Tony Pastor’s comic songs were as usual much applauded and he cheerfully responded to numerous encores. Jennie Engle’s sensational songs, Manchester and Jennings in songs-and-dances, Kitty Brooke’s excellent singing and dancing, [lists various sketches], filled out the bill. An excellent business was done during the week.”
