“From the Boston newspapers we learned that Mme. Methua-Scheller’s debut on the English stage, playing the part of Lorle [sic Lorlie] was a success. The English newspapers available to us extol her soft voice, her sympathetic presentation, her discreet acting, but they especially praise her singing. When she first appeared on stage, she was somewhat inhibited, which impaired the freedom of her acting, but she soon overcame that. She received the most enthusiastic applause and was called to encore.”
