Comments from Kurt Gänzl author of the forthcoming:
 
ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF THE MUSICAL THEATRE by K F Gänzl!
 

EMILY RIGL, ballet dancer chorine in original BLACK CROOK, rose later to being a principal.

 Sister of Betty RIGL b Holland 1845, who also appeared in original BLACK CROOK with Sangalli and Bonfanti.
 
 She made her early career in Britain, in theatres and music-halls, and was taken to America by Jarrett and Palmer for the BLACK CROOK, I'm sure Emily was in at some stage too.

see CLIPPER 20 April 1867 for portrait . ...K.G.
