Brief: “The house was crowded in every part, and the representation passed off with the smoothness which has characterized all the recitals since the outset of the present season.”

Review: New York Herald, 31 January 1875, 12.

“Balfe’s greatest and most popular work formed the attraction at the Academy of Music yesterday afternoon and succeeded in filling the house from parquet to dome, hundreds of ladies being unable to obtain seats. Arline is one of Miss Kellogg’s best rôles, and it would be difficult to find a more admirable interpreter of the many lovely melodies which the composer has thrown around the part of the gypsy maiden.”
