Brief. “Dan Bryant’s new Minstrel Hall, next season, will occupy the corner of Sixth-ave. and Twenty-third-st., immediately opposite Booth’s Theater. The site is well chosen. The manager designs to have the best Minstrel Hall and Company and in the world. His success, we fancy, is certain.”
“Some of the papers say that Bryant’s Minstrels are to have a hall in the new Masonic Temple. May be so. Every year the unreliables select a new hall for Daniel, which he doesn’t occupy.”
“…Although Bryant’s Minstrels are advertised to re-open there [Bryants’ Minstrel Hall] at the close of their traveling season, in September next, we presume they will not do so, as Josh Hart has rented the hall, and intends to convert it into a place for variety entertainments. He obtains possession in July, and will probably open some time in August, with a good variety troupe. Dan Bryant may extend his traveling season, and remain away until the completion of his new hall at Sixth Avenue and Twenty-third street…” Concludes with brief review of Bryant’s season.
