Kelly and Leon’s Minstrels

“Full houses continue to be attracted to this popular hall of minstrelsy, and to laugh in concert to the rare jocasities of the City Cars, Matrimony and the odd ballet-burlesques of Cinder-Leon, while Eph Horn mimics the Temple of Mystery to perfection. The Naughty Girls is the pet piece of the audience, and never fails to elicit a universal giggle.” 

“’Folks That Put on Airs’ should not visit Kelly & Leon’s Minstrel Hall, for if they do Eph Horn will make them feel bad, particularly when singing his song with the above title.  He hits them off in good style, and, while not saying anything offensive, goes just far enough to create a fund of humor.  Eph has made a hit here, particularly in his act of the ‘Temple of Mystery.’. . . Leon is undoubtedly one of the best impersonators of female characters at present in this country.  He dances with grace, and is as quick on his pins as any one we ever saw.  His pigeon cuts and toe movements are equal to the execution of a majority of the principal danseuses in this country.  W. S. Budworth is popular in his banjo solos.”
