Review: New York Clipper, 17 April 1875, 22.

“At the Lyceum Theatre ‘La Jolie Parfumeuse’ continued to draw good houses during the week. There was no performance on Thursday evening, on account of the sudden illness of Mlle. Aimée, whose role of Rose Michon was filled during the remainder of the week by Mlle. Gandon, who took the part at the shortest notice, and rendered it in a creditable manner.”
