 “A genuine sensation has been created at Tony Pastor’s by the Female Minstrels. A large share of the programme has been nightly devoted to their performances, which are varied, pleasing and well acted, or sung. The attendance during the past week has been most liberal. On several evenings all that applied for admission could not be accommodated.”
