“Kelly & Leon’s Minstrels are crowded every night with eager admirers of Leon’s clever burlesques and imitations of operatic singers and of the immortal Japs.”
“This party is one of the most popular and successful minstrel companies that has been seen in the city for some time, and we especially recommend them to our friends in the ‘Hub of the Universe.’ The managers came to this city only a few months ago almost unknown, but striking out into a path of their own, and arriving by every means to present attractive novelties to the public, they were not long in obtaining a firm hold upon public favor, and have ever since their opening week played to most excellent business.”
