The San Francisco Herald, May 29, 1853: ‘‘The best evidence that an actress will be successful is when her second appearance attracts a larger audience than the first. Upon this principle M’lle ’Lola Montes Has accomplished a triumph in San Francisco for she appeared last evening before one of the largest audiences ever assembled within the walls of the American Theatre. The principal attraction of the evening was the celebrated ‘Spider Dance’ in the execution of which it has been proclaimed Lola has no equal. An unusual degree of excitement prevailed to witness this performance. M’lle Lola appeared in the picturesque costume of ‘La Tarantella,’ the Spider Dance, was seen, admired, and encored and the triumphant danseuse retired amidst showers of bouquets and thunders of applause, after returning thanks in appropriate terms of her kind reception. Her style of dancing is fresh, novel, eccentric and beautiful and we cannot doubt she will become an immense favorite as a danseuse.”’ The Daily Herald, May 30, 1853: There is much curiosity to witness the performance of Lola Montes in the role she herself 4 played through life represented in the drama of ‘Lola Montes in Bavaria.’ The characters in this play are all sketched from life and the incidents strictly histrionic. Many of the persons represented — are still living. It will be produced with correct scenery and ~ costumes. The acts are as follows: . Era of the 1st: ‘Lola Montes the Danseuse.’ Era of the 2nd. ‘Lola Montes the Politician.’ Era of the 3rd.‘Lola Montes the Countess.’ _) Era of the 4th. ‘Lola Montes the Revolutionist the Fugitive.’ The play concludes with the revolution in Bavaria.” The Daily Herald, May 31, 1853: “The American Theatre assembled within the walls last evening a concourse of people as large as could be gathered within an equal space to witness the drama of ‘Lola Montes in Bavaria.’ The play has been put upon the stage with all those aids of scenery and costur:.es best calculated to give effect to such a historical place.
