The Famous Minstrel and Ten of his Singing and Dancing Wonders. 16 min. ON at 8.28. This act started rather mildly, owing to the fact that Primrose did not quite come up to expectations in the matter of sprightly dancing after his manner of several years ago. However, as the act moved on, it improved in interest. The 8 boys are all good performers of the old-school of clog dancing – one of them particularly expert in the wooden shoe eccentric specialty, winning strong applause. The finish in 1 was very lively. Two changes of costume, both good. The act lives up to tis strong billing. Primrose’s name is a valuable one anywhere where the spirit of the “Old-Time Minstrelsy” survives.
