 The manager, Barney Macauley, was sufficiently impressed to extend the booking to a week as Juliet and further roles including Julia in Sheridan Knowles's "The Hunchback", Bianca in Henry Hart Milman's "Fazio", and R. L. Sheil's "Evadne".Further engagements at St Louis, New Orleans and John McCullough's theatre in San Francisco led to a contract with John T. Ford.Starting as Lady Macbeth in his Washington theatre in 1877, she began an extensive US tour, culminating with a six-week engagement in Edward Bulwer Lytton's "The Lady of Lyons" at the 5th Avenue Theatre, New York.
