“A. H. Clarke, basso, made his first appearance at Bryant’s Minstrels on Dec. 1, J. W. Lamont, basso, and William Dwyer, tenor, having been discharged the previous week. Mr. Clarke has a powerful, resonant voice, which was heard to good advantage in ‘Let All Obey,’ and we think he will become a favorite. The other changes in first part were a new song, ‘Call Me Your Darling,’ effectively sung by Charles Templeton; ‘Get Aboard, Little Children,’ comically rendered by Dan Bryant; and ‘Strike the Harp Gently, my Pretty Louise,’ by W. Raymond. Morrissy [sic] and Emerson gave an effective double song-and-dance in the olio, in which the only other changes consisted of the revival of a sketch of ‘A Ghost in a Pawnshop,’ a comical banjo scene by Harry Stanwood, and Nelse Seymour and Dan Bryant in an act called ‘Can’t Shake Him.’ The financial depression has little effect on the attendance, which has continued large.”
