Charley White Company

“Amusements. Charley White’s. The revival of the prize drama, the Female Clerks of Washington is nightly drawing crowded houses at Mechanics’ Hall. The piece is a flimsy affair in itself, but seemed to please the audience immensely, and they were not slow in testifying their approbation in the heartiest and most hilarious rounds of applause. The bill for the present week is replete with varied attractions, not the least of which is Signor Farrata [sic], the ‘Boneless Wonder,’ as he is euphoniously styled upon the bills, in a series of select parlor entertainments, the ballet of Les Villageois and the Chemist, with Charley White in the principal part.”

“Sig. Farranta, the contortionist, joins the forces at Charley White’s this evening. ‘The Female Clerks of Washington’ is produced, introducing the ladies of this establishment in a Zouave drill. George Edelson [sic] will open his budget of comic songs, and the Ethiopian corps will appear in a variety of new and old acts.”

Matinee.

“Amusements. The Matinees Yesterday.” Just a mention in a list of matinees.

“Four weeks more, and then the establishment now occupied by Charley White’s Variety Troupe will close its doors as a public place of amusement to be altered and re-opened for another kind of business. Last week Sig. Farranta, the contortionist, appeared in his physical exercises; the drama of ‘The Female Clerks of Washington’ was revived and played during the week to pretty good houses.”
