“Messrs. Maguire and Emerson have found an audience fit and not few for their California troupe; and the sojourn of their minstrels at the cosy little theater which was formerly Kelly & Leon’s, and afterward Lina Edwin’s, bids fair to be indefinitely prolonged. The minstrel troupe is the only one now located down town, and it enjoys certain obvious advantages on that account.”
