...purposely left the ladies to the last, according to the order of climax. The best singing was by Eva Clark, accompanied by the chorus,--and speaking of the chorus, it is an unusually well-selected one. It danced with grace and precision, in a few original figures, and thoroughly pretty, colorful costumes. We are not partial toward choruses; ordinarily we much prefer to have them stay off-stage entirely and leave the principals alone, but this chorus is an added attraction.

...Eva Gauthier is the sort of person who arouses curiosity and imagination. She is a little French Canadian, dark, eager eyed and sprightly. Her movements are rapid and unaffected. A glance at her reveals a singular flame of honesty and intelligence. She sings with a pretty voice and a simply astounding amount of understanding, artistry and grace. With the sort of music she sings, a mere correct intonation of the ear-confounding sounds is an astonishment. In the ensemble of impressions, this little woman wears a strangely exotic...
