Citations
1)
“The entertainment given by this large and well organized company of minstrels differs from most performances of the kind in being like that of the Bryants’, free from every objectionable feature, while at the same time it is second to none in the amount of fun it furnishes.”
3)
“Wood’s, Bryants’, Christy’s and Hooley’s at Brooklyn we need scarcely notice, as they are nightly crowded to excess. People are turned away from these places of amusement night after night, and yet they persevere in their determined efforts to enjoy the fun. The minstrels could not be more successful.”
