“Nelse Seymour, having bought a nice little cottage in One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street, near Sixth avenue, took possession the past week, and had quite a party of professional friends to call on him on Sunday, among whom were Tony Pastor, Frank Kearns, Helene Smith, and others.”

“…Tony delights his audience with his selection of comic songs…Hattie Snow is very clever with her serio-comic singing.”
