“…In the olio, in an act entitled ‘My Old Dad,’ Brockway, Emerson and Dave Reed gave imitations of the original minstrels of 1842, with violin, tambo and jaw-bone accompaniment, which proved highly entertaining, and illustrated by contrast with the improvements which have been made in that style of entertainment since its origins…Harry Stanwood sang his songs with banjo accompaniment and witty interpolations. A good business has been done.”
