“This burlesque is well worth beholding; it is full of nice little bits of scenery, little bits of satire, little bits of ‘fun without vulgarity,’ little bits of pretty little dears, and all that sort of thing, to say nothing about the veritable John himself, or little Emelie Melville, or James Dunn, who sings so sweetly.  Besides this re-constructed piece, we are promised the little farce of ‘Jenny Lind,’ for this evening, with Miss Emelie Melville as the gushing Jenny Leatherlungs.”
