Review: New York Clipper, 24 June 1865, 86.

     “[K]eeps open to a good business considering the warm nights we are now having.  A company of male and female minstrels appeared last week, with Frank Wild and J. G. H. Shorey on the ends.  Jenny Engel and Emma Schell vocalize to the delight of all.  Senorita Jeuvetta is the principal danseuse, and pleases with her evolutions in the art Terpsichore.  Mons. Boldy has charge of the ballet department and all his ballets are well got up.”
