Blackface Monologue. 14 min. in 1. 2 shows. On at 8:56. This man’s first appearance here, and was immense. He caught the crowd immediately, with the swing and dash of his work. All his songs got a good hand, and he was compelled to respond to three encores and four curtain calls, including a little speech, which was very neatly done. Johns proved himself very much all right.
