“Charmion gives the same act that brought her notoriety in the old Koster & Bial days. She comes out clothed in all the fripperies and unnecessary externals that most women wear with evening dress, and after she is hoisted to the trapeze she pantomimically explains to the audience that it is impossible for her to proceed with her gyrations unless she removes some of her raiment, which she does gradually and with a great show of modest confusion.”
"After nearly ten years' absence she appears at New York Theatre Concert."
"[...] made the great big audience at the Sunday concert at the New York Theatre laugh and blush and shout by turns." "Little by little she divests herself, her watchers growing more and more uneasy and interested."
"Her act is really not such a terrible thing to behold. True she suggests all sorts of things by her shrugs and moues and little whisperings of 'Scuse me' every minute or two, but the more intimate garments of feminine wear are lacking from her getup and there is nothing remarkably immodest about her tights. She is a very clever performer on the trapeze."
