Review: New-York Times, 08 January 1864, 4.
Naval engagements was a “complete success. . . . In the second piece—‘The Old English Gentleman’—Miss Ione Burke made her first appearance at this house.  She is a vivacious, almost jolly, entirely charming and exceedingly talented young artist, whose career elsewhere has been steady and progressive.”
