“The Frisco Minstrels are in the last week of their present season at their Hall, 585 Broadway. On June 8th, Bobby Newcomb takes a benefit. Robert is a clever song and dance performer, and as he is quite a favorite at this establishment he will no doubt have a crowded house. On June 1st, for John Runnett’s benefit, the hall was densely crowded, and a great many were unable to obtain standing room.”
