15 min. in one – Two coons, regular coon act in one. With lawsuits on our hands, and “niggers” insisting on boxes and front orchestra seats, I think perhaps Mr. Albee will cut out the coon acts in the future. We do not need them, and they draw an element here that we do not want to cater to. Had more trouble to-day on the opening, and had to sell front seats to coons, which drives away the regular patrons.
