Golden Gate Quintette

I don’t believe I like this act as well as I used to.  Like most colored entertainers, after they get a little bit of standing, they want to do the “neat” work more suited to white people and in that way, lose the darkey personality.  At the points where they did the comedy work it was exceedingly well accepted.  “Straight” work let down a little bit.”  Finished to good applause, however, and can do no harm in any bill, if not depended on too much.  18min. open in 2, close in 1, 2 shows.
