“An entrance is now had with Jeanne Fransioli, as well dressed and as handsome as ever, if not more so, being drawn on the stage seated in a sedan chair. It is rested on the floor by the four bearers, and Miss Fransioli, after drawing the curtains, steps out. The curtains are raised, and Goldin bows to the audience from within. The chair has no unusual depth, and it is a striking illusion for the start.”
"Goldin has many imitators, but no equal. His fresh supply will stand him in stead for some time." "[...] about the only flaw in the act, which concludes with the 'cannon' and 'trunk' illusion, is an impersonation of composers with a substitution at the end, hardly worth the time and trouble given to it. The cabinet in this is exceedingly intricate, and might be devoted to a better purpose."
