 According to [[D.C. Boonzaier]] (1923) she was a fine actress, but he also mentions that, possibly because of the Cape Town public's indifference to so-called "scratch companies" at the time, the season in the [[Vaudeville Theatre]] was not well supported, nor were productions she and her husband later staged. In fact Boonzaier mentions an intended performance of a few one act plays in the [[Claremont Town Hall]] which did not get one patron.
