“Crowded audiences nightly attest the popularity of Bryant’s Minstrels. On this chosen stage of Ethiopian melody a constant stream of good things is poured for the benefit of the public. A visit to Bryant’s is a certain cure for hypochondria unless the unfortunate be beyond earthly aid. There is a confusing succession of side-splitting varieties, some old favorites, others brand new from the nameless authors who amuse the town in this favorite theatre by trivialities thrown off from ready pens. The performance concludes with an appropriate sketch entitled ‘Santa Claus,’ in which the whole strength of the company appears.”
