“Mr. Dan Bryant has joined his forces at Bryant’s Opera-house [sic]. The value of his accession, as we need scarcely say, cannot be overestimated.”

“Bryant’s Opera House is doing good business in the old-fashioned negro minstrelsy and negro comedy business. This is well enough in its way, but it seems that an actor as accomplished as Dan Bryant should be able to elevate the standard of this class of amusements without detracting from the fun and merriment of the entertainment. He has a beautiful little theatre, admirably adapted to lighter comedy than the inevitable colored article.”
