     “‘Greenbakina’ continues  . . . and is drawing good houses for the lateness of the season. Frank Brower continues as the gay and dashing fairy to the delight of every one. It has already had a run of three weeks, and promises to keep the bills for some time to come. The last scene is really a beautiful one, and well worth seeing, as an evidence of the enterprise of minstrel Hall management. Besides this burlesque, a choice selection of singing, dancing and comic acts is given every night.”
