“The bewitching scenery of Ireland illustrated, and the gems of Irish minstrelsy rendered by competent artists, who will appear in a programme review with National Songs, Duets, Instrumental Solos, Choruses, Character Delineations, &c. A mélange of mirth music, pathos and mimicry.”
“Vocalism and a little mild comic acting by Mr. Jerry Cohen and Miss Mina Geary, incidentally contribute musical and dramatic elements to the show, and give to the landscapes an accompaniment of real life. The acting is not [illegible], and the singing is not extraordinary…and the sweet airs of Ireland, which are played or sung at intervals, please everybody.”
“The entertainment concluded with a sketch entitled, ‘Irish Hearts,’ during which a number of Irish songs, duets and dances were introduced.”
