“This troupe presents this week a bill full of novelty in every line of the minstrel business. In the way of songs, jokes, and acts, there are many new and admirable specialties. The concluding pantomimic ballet, entitled Cinder-Leon, has made a hit and will probably run for some time, being a very laughable burlesque, both in costume and action, on the naked drama.”
