“Mr. Poole’s burlesque called ‘Keno,’ produced on Monday, is a prominent attraction at the Olympic Theater, where also Miss Emma Day, a character vocalist, has made her appearance to the general enjoyment of Olympic audiences. The large company gathered at this theater, and the diversity and constant change in its entertainments, make it one of the most popular variety theaters that the city has ever contained.”
