Charlie White’s Minstrels

“A full bill and a crowded house were both to be seen last evening at 472 Broadway. The singing of Messrs. Edeson and Collins, the dancing of the ballet, and the burnt cork performances of Charley White and Frank Kerns met with demonstrative appreciation of the audience. The performance concluded with an Irish drama, entitled ‘The Fenian’s Oath.’ This is a production pandering excessively to the present Fenian excitement. It consists of glorification of the green flag, abuse of the English, and extravagant and ridiculous positions and incidents and is so full of ‘business’ that weak little plot there is in it is quite lost and buried.”
