In Boston, June 81, 1891, the Traveller said !:
miss Helen Barry and her excellent COM
pany enjoyed triumph at the Park Theatre
last evening, that is rarely accorded to any
company OF artists. 1t was upon the occa
sion of the 50th performance of that laugha-
bic skit, "A Nights Frolic." which was
made specially memorable by the presenta-
tion OF handsome souvenir to each lady In
-commemoration of the event. The house
was filled with most appreciative audience,
ana the comedy was given with an unusual
snap and spirit, the company evidently
catching the spirit of the occasion. At the
close Of the second act, repeated calls were
made for speech. and Miss Barry remained
upon the stage, and much to the surprise and
greatly to the qualification of the audience,
made one of the prettiest little impromptu
speeches ever heard on Boston stage"
