Stanley “achieved a decided success; her songs, which were given in a truly artistic manner, received unbounded and genuine applause.  As a vocalist she is certainly a most valuable acquisition to our list of music hall celebrities; indeed, we are only surprised that she has not aimed at a higher position, for she is fully equal in execution, taste, and voice to many vocalists who have made their mark at our first class concerts. ‘On, Stanley, on.’”
