“The ‘New Idea,’ a pleasant medley of negro minstrelsy, ballad concert and pantomime . . . continues to be attended by very large and respectable audiences. Among the leading attractions are Mme. Zanfretta on the tight rope, Hernandez in pantomime, and Mr. Gustavus Geary and Miss Agnes Sutherland in ballads.”
