"Marion Burton played the title role in George Musgrove's production of 'Paul Jones', a comic opera by Planquette about the American naval commander ... Burton, a contralto, made a successful transition from concert and oratorio to musical theatre in this 1890 production, in which her co-star was Nellie Stewart." -- Reference: Entertaining Australia : an illustrated history / Katharine Brisbane (ed.). Sydney : Currency Press, 1991 (p.114)

Burton easily filled the large Sydney Town Hall with rich, liquid tones in W.T. Best's inaugural 1890 recitals -- Reference: Entertaining Australia : an illustrated history / Katharine Brisbane (ed.). Sydney : Currency Press, 1991 (p.115)
