“The usual large and respectable audience greeted the Budworth’s Minstrels last evening, and witnessed the performance of the varied and interesting programme presented. Messrs. J. H. and W. S. Budworth kept the audience in a roar of laughter with their comic songs and sallies, while Mr. C. Henry sang several sentimental ballads in his accustomed felicitous style. The evening’s entertainment closed with A Trip to the Moon, which was very comic and laughable.”

“‘The Trip to the Moon’ performed by Budworth’s Minstrels last week, was the ‘Shadow Pantomime.’ It was placed upon the stage in capital style and made the biggest kind of hit.”
