Review: Courrier des États-Unis, 01 May 1865, 1.

     “Mlle. Elénore (a new addition by Juignet) is a great actress who should stay in New York in the future.  If the Theater didn’t exist, it should be invented for her.  Solange is a precious acquisition by Juignet.  Juignet is an excellent actor and director of the company.  Monsieur Constant danced a hilarious can-can.  Juignet, Chol, and Constant also performed a very funny pas-de-trios.”
