Review: New-York Daily Tribune, 17 March 1875, 7.

“This band of Ethiopians has met with a kind reception at Robinson Hall, and has deserved it by displaying talent and imparting pleasure. Its performances are fresh and sprightly, and they are colored with the peculiarities of old time negro life in the Southern States. Morning performances are given by the Georgia Minstrels on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and their engagement will be extended to the 27th of March.”
