“Dobson, the celebrated banjoist, has met with decided success at the Olympic in the drama of the ‘Streets of New York.’ Dobson has been engaged by Mr. Mollenhauer, the leader of the orchestra at Wallack’s where he was one of the features in the overture every evening last week. Mr. Dobson has labored zealously to elevate the banjo to a standard with all other instruments. He was the first to give a banjo concert, and the first to play it in the orchestra of a theatre.”
