Reviews
From Belford's Magazine (January 1889):
"Agnes Booth has scored a great triumpth as Mrs. Seabrook in "Captain Swift" at the Madison Square. For painstaking attention to detail, nicety of intonation, and powerful expression, Agnes Booth is in the front rank of leading ladies. We have seen her in many society dramas, and in each she has shown a charming appreciation of all the requirements. At the Madison Square, with its cosey (sic) stage, the visitor forgets that he is one of the audience, and feels almost like an intruder upon a scene in a private drawing-room. ... The mingled expression of shame, suffering and maternal love in Agnes Booth's face during scene is one not soon to be forgotten. The audience remains spellbound a moment, then a burst of enthusiastic applause crowns her effort."
