“The Bryants’ brought out last week, a burlesque of ‘Black Eyed Susan,’ by Charley White, entitled ‘Black Eyed William.’ It is one of Mr. White’s most laughable productions, and is not only well put on the stage but capitally performed. The last scene, which represents the deck of a ship, is well done. Dan Bryant as William, is exceedingly funny, and keeps the audience laughing all the time he is on the stage. Nelse Seymour’s acting and make up as Susan is huge, particularly the waterfall; the meeting between William and Susan when they bid each other farewell was a big thing in cork. This company will shortly be strengthened by the appearance of Charles Henry, of Wood’s Minstrels, and one of the two sweetest ballad singers in the business.”
