“Emerson’s Minstrels, from California, are in the third week of their engagement at the Park Theatre, and continue to nightly delight large and fashionable audiences. The entertainment is of an approved order and more genuinely Ethiopian in the musical selections and burlesque acts and less of the character of the variety shows than is usual nowadays with the minstrels.”
