Part of larger article on Fox’s Old Bowery. “Miss Fanny Herring is at present the bright star at the Old Drury of America. Her style of acting is peculiarly her own, and might be adopted by other actresses with advantage to themselves. Each word is pronounced clearly and distinctly, and her gestures are extremely graceful. In the part of Tarati, “The Pedler Boy,” she is truly great, and never fails to elicit the approval of the spectators.”
