Prices, including “Colored Gallery, 10c.” Stanley is “from Weston’s Concert Hall, London, the most accomplished vocalist in the concert profession . . . engaged in a limited number of nights at an enormous salary.”

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.’”
