New York Theatre

In a list of Saturday matinees.  “Lady Don is an admirable vocalist and an excellent actress.”

In a list of Matinees To-Day.  “Mark Smith indulges in a huge bit of burlesque.”

Both plays listed for evening performance.  Only Kenilworth listed for matinee; unclear whether The Pretty horse-breaker was also performed then.

“Lady Don is in the third week of her engagement at the New York Theatre. Last week she repeated the burlesque of ‘Kenilworth’ preceded each evening by a comedietta entitled ‘The Pretty Horse Breaker.’ The lady was announced to sing in the latter piece three different songs, but the night we were present she did not sing at all in consequence of suffering from a very bad cold and a sore throat. An apology was made for her not singing. The piece was a miserable affair and afforded no opportunity for displaying the many excellent qualifications of this lady, and without any singing drove many dissatisfied people from the house with anything but favorable opinion of the lady. ..”
