     No mention of music. “[This] is one of John’s best impersonations; but notwithstanding this fact—notwithstanding the advent of the Easter holidays—it has failed to attract large audiences. We think both manager and actor made a great mistake in keeping Mr. Owens before the people after the houses ‘let down’ on ‘Solon Shingle.’ Mr. O. could have traveled on that one piece and made out much better than he has of late in this city.”
