“The building located on Broadway, between Twenty-eighth and Twenty-ninth streets, west side, will be home of minstrelsy ere long, as the San Francisco boys have secured that portion of it now used as a billiard saloon for the purpose of fitting it up as a first-class minstrel hall. Birch, Wambold and Backus are determined not to lose their hold in the metropolis.”
