Jennie Worrell’s “singing was fair, and her dancing such as to win the heart of the Prince….The entertainments throughout were excellent.”

“Long before the curtain rose there was not standing room in the lower part of the house or the dress circle, and the upper circle was very crowded….Jennie must try and pay a little more attention to the action of the play when she is on the stage, and not play so much to the audience…The whole affair was very flattering to the beneficiaire.”
