“Why is Bryants’ Minstrels Hall like a good egg? Because it’s always full. This clever American production will probably take a first prize at the Fair of the American Institute, should we think proper to institute a demand for fair play. Speaking of Bryants’, have you been there lately? No! Well, that’s your own fault; if you wish to get in, you must leave the supper table a little earlier, and get to the Hall when the doors open. Dan Bryant still holds a full hand, and plays it with good judgment, and eccentric movements, are all so harmoniously mixed up in him as to give assurance to the world that he is a ‘Nigger man’ on the mock turtle principle.”
