Griffin and Christy’s Minstrels

“To judge from the numerous audiences which nightly bestow their plaudits upon the performances of the above celebrated troupe d’Ethiope, Christy & Griffin’s Minstrels will long continue to hold the award of popularity, which seems, by almost unanimous accord, to be allotted to them.  A numerous audience were in attendance last night, each member of which seemed fully to recognize the truth of the old adage that ‘a hearty laugh is the best of medicine.’  Georg Christy as usual, kept the house in a roar, and Griffin, Burbank, Fred, Abbott, and Boyce contributed their due quotient to enjoyment of the audience.”
