     “A popular belief has long existed that the banjo can be made use of only in negro minstrelsy; but the Dobson Brothers have proved that this instrument is capable, under artistic management, of producing exquisite music—even some of the soft and tender melodies of Ireland can be played upon it.  On this occasion the Dobsons will be assisted by Professor A. Stoepel, pianist; Miss Kizzey [sic] Stoepel, soprano; Miss Emily Perine, Mr. R. McGuire and Herr F. Stoepel.  We believe the public will not fail to go and hear the wonderful performance on the five and seven string banjos.”
