...success is achieved in the first scene with her husband, where she shows him the drawings, and in the fourth act, where she endeavors to recall his truant love. In these scenes her light-comedy powers have full scope, and we recognize them to be of high order. Her support was very good. Mr. Sheridan, as the wayward Stephen, made a part interesting which, in the hands of an inferior actor, would have been stupid if not laughable. Miss Orton did herself great credit in the part of Stella. Mr. Allen was careless and unappreciative in his rendering...
...hard for any one so free from care as a College student, to cast aside the pleasant habit of indifference.

...knew not which to admire most, that, or her singing. The operas presented have been the standard ones, and although in each of them the beautiful prima donna had nothing to fear from comparison with her gifted predecessors, her roles in Fra Diavolo and Faust were most pleasing. Her support by the Company, although weak in the tenor parts, was, on the whole, good...
