Sam

“Crowded houses greet Chanfrau nightly in his great impersonation of the irrepressible ‘Sam.’ Everybody laughs and stamps and screams with delight and calls him out, ‘you know, and all that sort of things,’ when he is just as sure, ‘you know,’ to say something exceedingly funny, and then apologizes and bows and goes off, ‘you know,’ and is called back, ‘and all that sort of thing, you know,’ which pleases everybody, ‘you know.’ Mr. Chanfrau’s engagement here has been, thus far, one of the most successful every played in this city, and Mr. C. T. Parsloe, Jr., is not a whit behind in his inimitable role.”
