“First night of a new drama. . . . Taylor’s celebrated picture of everday English life, now achieving the most extraordinary success in London, having completed a run of two hundred nights.” Mrs. Florence will play the character of Emily St. Evremond née Traddles Coryphée and will sing the German song, “Die Haus die Menten und Perlen.”
“‘The Ticket of Leave’ will be produced for the first time in New-York.”
Longish review with no mention of the music. “A full house greeted the Florences last night. . . . [The play] was produced with a good cast and excellent stage effects.”
Long discussion of Tom Taylor and the play. “The performance on the first night was generally good, and sufficed to win for the piece an emphatic and deserved success. . . . Mrs. Florence had an excellent part—a concert-room ballet girl, who assumes French airs—and played it uproariously. The lady received an encore in Stigelli’s German song, ‘Die Schoensten Augen.’”
“’The Ticket of Leave Man’ produced with new music.”
