From The Era
Sir Henry Irving's invitation to the Colonial Premiers to come and see Madame Sans-Gêne, at the Lyceum, on Monday, was responded to by a brilliant gathering, which included, besides many other distinguished guests .... Madame Sans-Gêne never went with more animation or evoked heartier appreciation. Miss Ellen Terry revelled in the part of the laundress-duchess, and Sir Henry Irving's Napoleon was even more finished and effective than on its first performance. While the audience was departing the stage was cleared of the First Empire furniture, and Sir Henry Irving, substituting evening dress for the green coat and white breeches of Bonaparte, soon greeted the guests with his wonted tact and affability.
