Review: New-York Daily Tribune, 17 November 1870, 5.

“…the San Francisco Minstrels are drawing full houses, with a well chosen and varied entertainment in the department of Negro character painting, which they represent with so much ability and humor. To these topics,--as well as to several others, of greater importance, upon which we have only been able to touch in passing,--we shall improve the fair occasion to revert.”
