Miss P. Horton's Entertainment, at the Royal Gallery of Illustration, Regent-Street, [London], 1856. 'Miss P. Horton's powers of impersonation have never been so skilfully or so fully exercised...The contrasts of character are marked with the most admirable precision...[The characters are] individualised with the most consummate skill, and the laughter, no less than the applause, elicited throughout, testified to the manner in which the performances were appreciated by the audience. The second part is called the "Enraged Musician," the object being to depict an aspiring genius in the agonies of operatic composition; and the fun which is produced arises from the continual interruptions he is exposed to by the appearance of a variety of persons who inflict upon him their woes and idiosyncrasies, until at length he is completely bewildered and unable to proceed with his work'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
