Partial program. “…The entertainment as a whole being one of the best ever seen in this city, attracted a large audience. Miss Jennie Engle sang serio-comic songs in her customary pleasing style; the Freeman Sisters performed their musical specialties; Tony Pastor sang a fresh selection of comic songs…Ella Wesner sang character songs with rapid changes of costume…”
