Review: New York Clipper, 25 July 1874, 134.

“Miss Hattie Forrest sang serio-comic songs, which met with applause, and Billy Lester elicited no little laughter by his Ethiopian eccentricities. The cancan, which closed the performances, is the great attraction, and to that we attribute such a large attendance in midsummer.”
