Theatre Comique

“…Jennie Worrell, who was extensively advertised to appear, did not do so, and this is the second or third time that she has disappointed managers in this city recently. If performers do not intend fulfilling their engagements, why should they make them and put the manager to much expense in billing and advertising them?... The attendance during the week was good. Serio-comic songs by Emma Grattan and Mrs. John Wild, character dancing by Kitty O’Neil, Irish comic songs by Kate O’Connor, character songs by Harry Munroe, songs-and-dances by Delehanty and Hengler, and India-rubber song-and-dance by Master Martin, and ‘I Couldn’t Stay Away’ by the little Carrolls (the General and Master Eddie), were among the salient features of the programme. Little Jennie Yeamanns, clad in a new and tasteful costume, sang character songs, to one of which she performed an accompaniment on the snare drum in a clever manner. In an act entitled ‘Holland on a Bust,’ R. M. Carroll and Little Dick did some lively dancing, and the latter appeared to even better advantage than we had ever before seen him. He is very precocious, and displays unmistakable talent.” In a separate paragraph on the same page, a note that manager Josh Hart “presented each of R. M. Carrol’s [sic] three little sons with a handsome silver watch on New-Year’s.”
