"Zerbinetta, the athletic Jennie Moser, made the effort to rouse Ariadne to the topic of love and womanhood in the pyrotechnics of her 'high and mighty princess' to more applause. Although the commedia del arte troupe proved unsuccessful in their efforts to rouse Ariadne, they were quite the hit with the audience...Saturday night’s Zerbinetta was richly applauded at the curtain."
