In fact, Moore earned good reviews. "The Times" wrote that she "has a delightfully fresh voice... she sings with very good taste and gives distinct promise of becoming a very acceptable actress; her appearance is extremely taking, and on the whole, a more successful "début" has not recently taken place". Her next role was Polly in "Captain Billy" (1891), the companion piece to "The Nautch Girl". Her older sister, Jessie Moore, who sang with one of D'Oyly Carte's touring companies, replaced Decima in "Captain Billy" in November 1891.
