There are seventeen young and pretty women, all well trained. They first appear in a ‘white face’ specialty, after which they apply burnt cork to their pretty features, (this operation taking place in full view of the audience and affords considerable fun) and give an old time minstrel first part with ‘tambos,’ ‘bongs,’ ‘interlocutor and double sextette.’ Plantation songs and dances follow. It is decided novelty here and goes great. Full stage, 21 min.
