“…Jennie Hughes, by her graceful manners, elegant toilets, and serio-comic vocalism, has already firmly established herself as a favorite with the patrons of this theatre. She is constantly adding fresh songs to her repertory, and seems to exhibit an earnestness and ambition to excel in her profession…An excellent business is being done. Even on the inclement nights of the past week the auditorium was entirely filled.”
