“Pleasure seekers fond of a variety of amusement such as is found at Mechanics’ Hall are flocking nightly to that classic little hall to witness the performance of the great combination troupe before they leave the city. But a few more nights remain before the popular Charley and his colored band betake themselves to the provinces to delight our rural cousins, and all those who have not seen him in the laughable interlude of ‘The Colored Academy and ‘The Masquerade Ball’ should not fail to do so before he closes.”
