“…The former [Blanche Selwyn] sang character songs with rapid changes of male attire, the latter of nearly faultless fit. A pretty face and a sweet, melodious voice, combined with easy, graceful manners, enhanced the value of her impersonations of the young men of the day…Tony Pastor selected some of the most popular songs from his repertory, which were given in his own peculiar, dashing and vivacious style, and, as usual, the enthusiasm of his auditors was aroused to a high degree…In spite of the inclement weather, the attendance was liberal.”
