“The far-famed Buckley’s Serenaders, after having made a most successful tour through Great Britain and Ireland, have returned to this City, and are now giving their unique entertainments at Stuyvesant Institute, Broadway. The crowds of pleasure-seekers that are present every evening prove conclusively that the Buckleys are as great favorites as ever. Their programme is a most attractive one, combining Negro minstrelsy proper with incidental ‘varieties,’ and concluding with a burlesque opera, the music of which is most artistically rendered, while the libretto is so comicalized that cachinnation is forced from the audience during the entire rendition. ‘Lucrezia Borgia’ had a most successful ‘run’ last week.”
