“[The] comedietta of ‘A Day after the Wedding’ (called in the bills ‘A Day after Marriage’) was performed, followed by Lotta in banjo solos, songs and dances, concluding with the farce of ‘Jenny Lind.’ . . . [T]here were a goodly number present, composed in the main of claquers, who had received a free ticket for the purpose of applauding the lady to the skies in everything she did. So apparent was this from the start, that the whole thing became a ridiculous farce, and tended more to damn the reputation of the lady than to do her good.”
