'Lord Midelby, an Englishmen in lodgings on the Continent, resorts to all sorts of wiles to rid himself of a musical young lady and her lover, who are constantly warbling on the floor below.' The South Australian Register's theatre critic went on to record that 'the operetta was very fairly played for amateurs, and afforded a good deal of amusement to those who were present' ('Deutscher Maenner-Gesang Verein,' 30 May 1882, p.6).
