“Kelly and Leon’s Minstrels are doing their enjoyable ‘Barber Blu’ to the delight of crowded houses. The first and second parts of their programme have been changed and many new features added to their entertainment.”

“The past week A.J. Talbot appeared on the end, with Dick Ralph in place of J. C. Campbell. J. Davies, announced in the bills for a banjo solo, did not appear on Sept. 25th. ‘Barber Blu’ continues on the bills, and is as attractive as ever, the attendance being very good.”
