“This popular place of amusement was thronged, as usual, last evening. The perplexity of the simple German who found his tobacco sign dubbed ‘Jim Crow’ transferred into a real live jumping blackamoor who hurled cigar boxes at every one, formed a source of intense and hearty merriment. Keno versus Rondo brought out the most lively exhibition of Ethiopian humor; and Shan McCollum, the Irish Refugee, was equally replete with Celtic drollery.’
The entire performance was replete with unintermitting novelties, some of a side aching tendency, and others of a more sober though not of a much less amusing character.”
