“Mr. Grover announces that [La Juive] has had the benefit of additional rehearsals, and that the costumes will be new–being part of those recently imported for the company.”

“The Jewess was finely sung last evening by the German artists, owing to the fact that more rehearsals had been gone through, and that a day, or rather night of rest had recruited the severely taxed singers, last evening’s performance was a great improvement upon the first of the Jewess. The leading artists were all in fine voice, the choruses were admirably sung, the orchestra, as usual, was remarkable in its ensemble, and the whole entertainment a decided success.”
