“At the San Francisco Minstrel Hall, No. 585 Broadway—a place long popular as the dwelling place of mirth—Buckley’s Serenaders have entered on the third week of their Summer season. They are performing at present in a burlesque of the old story of Lucrezia Borgia—a theme that affords abundant scope to the spirit of the drollery; and they are making a great deal of harmless sport. Messrs. Cooper and Field, the comic dancers, have appeared here this week, and have added new zest to the minstrel entertainment by their trained skill and their stimulating vivacity. There will be a Matinée at the Minstrel Hall on Saturday. Buckley’s Serenaders give a performance that is suited to the season—since it is light and cheery and promotes good temper.”
