The principal, in blackface, presumably a woman
Has a little pointed talk, but for the most part her performance is rather boresome. Her voice has little musical value.
A rather light single offering of which the simple tricks of a trained dog were the best.
She looks the old Southern “mammy,” and should work out a line of talk and business local to the South and with some “human interest” running through it. At present her characterization is far from clear or consistent.
