“A pleasing entertainment was given by the Georgia Minstrels at Lina Edwin’s Theatre during the week just closed. Bob Height, owing to the death of his wife, was unable to appear during a portion of the week. Charles B. Hicks assumed the duties of interlocutor, which he discharged satisfactorily. The first part was entirely changed, and may be pronounced an improvement upon their efforts. The attendance has been encouraging.”
