“Two of our minor theatres, the Comique and the Atheneum, are making some progress in the right direction. These places ought to become the recognized homes of burlesque, and with skillful management they can extinguish the well-worn burned-cork minstrelsy by replacing it with a higher and equally popular class of amusements.”
