Review: New York Herald, 29 August 1875, 7.

“The Globe Theatre was opened for the season last night with an entirely new variety company. There was a fair audience present, and what was lacking in numbers was made up for amply by the enthusiasm of the galleries. The programme was a long one and afforded a variety that ought to have satisfied everybody…the singing of Miss Annie Kemp Bowler seemed to give great satisfaction to the audience.”
