“What with the Ghost, the quartette of comedians, and the quintette of vocalists, Wood’s Minstrels cannot fail to attract large audiences. As variety is the spice of life, here you have it in abundance, in burlesque tragedy; in comedy; in pathetic ballads; in eccentric acts indescribable; in performances most laughable. The hall itself is a pleasant place to while away an hour in, without reference to the entertainments offered. What has become of Mr. Dunlap, formerly officiating in front. He was a courteous and an attentive usher, which is a rarity in some places, and an efficient doorkeeper, which position he last occupied.”
