Review: New York Clipper, 29 August 1874, 174.

“At Robinson Hall the cancan seems to have lost none of its attractive powers, as the attendance was good during the expired week…A pleasing minstrel first-part was given, and the olio remained about the same as during the preceding week, the only addition being Miss Adelaide Stuart, a pleasing ballad singer.”
