Review in El Correo de la Moda, Revista de Madrid 24sep1864 :
= Estrenada en el Circo y muerta al poco de nacida.
Este juguete esta falto de novedad y gracia y revela escaso conocimiento del arte de escribir para la escena.
Segun el lenguaje de bastidores no hizo mas que pasar. 
Igual suerte cupo a la parte musical qua por desgracia no era mejor que la literaria
= Premiered in the Circo and died shortly after birth.
This toy is lacking in novelty and grace and reveals little knowledge of the art of writing for the scene.
According to the language of the frames, he did no more than pass.
The same luck fitted the musical part, unfortunately it was not better than the literary
