The fresh performers in the preceding variety olio were Alice Somers, a clever clog-dancer, who later in the evening won equal favor in songs-and dances; Lyston Graham, a skillful performer upon the concertina, who subsequently deftly performed feats of legerdemain; Hurley and Marr, who were well received in songs-and-dances; William Horace Bent, a comic singer, and Alecia Jourdan, a good character songstress…”
