“Shouts of laughter at the Shadow Pantomime, and the screaming Black Cook and African Ballet Troupe.”

“Amusements. The San Francisco Minstrels. The large audiences that nightly throng the commodious and comfortable hall of this popular minstrel troupe attest in a manner the high appreciation in which they are held by the amusement-loving public. But instead of contenting themselves with the numerous successes which they have achieved, they should aim higher and stimulate themselves to further exertions to please their patrons. As it is, not a single new attraction has been added to their bills for many weeks.”
