"The new leading lady at the Lyceum, specially imported from America to support Mr. William Gillette in 'Sherlock Holmes,' was readily taken into favor on the first night of the London production. Her treatment of the part of the persistently persecuted and long-suffering 'Alice Faulkner' was marked by much natural feeling, and quickly commanded the sympathetic attention of the house." - London Illustrated News
