Apollo Hall

 Description of the hall and its seating. “Mr. Taylor was welcomed by a fair audience, who applauded his every appearance and each act was deservedly encored. He appeared as the Nurse and Crying Child, the Schoolmaster and his Pupil, the humors of a London Assize Court, Yorkshire Sam, Dismal Doleful, Sarah Walker, and Simple Simon, all of which were given in a truly laughable and artistic manner, equal, if not superior, to anything of the kind ever before seen or heard in this country. Mr. Taylor is in every sense of the word a comic vocalist, possessing a varied facial expression and a power of distorting his features seldom witnessed in any performer. His Yorkshire Sam, a specimen of a jolly old English farmer, is a capital piece of comic acting and the make up is excellent. He was supported by Mr. and Mrs. Brennan, two very pleasing vocalists. Charles E. Collins appeared in the act called ‘The Cure,’ and in an Irish song and dance. Business was only fair during the week. He continues there for the present.”
