Ned Wayburn’s Minstrel Misses

This act went even better than they did last week. Wayburn appears to be studying the act closely and was here early today and stayed until the act was over. He has made quite an improvement by letting the girl who does the interlocutor in the minstrel first part make an announcement that the act is a travesty on the old time minstrels, which gives the audience to understand that thy are not trying to give a straight minstrel show. The business of last week certainly indicated that they are drawing well here and we had a very big house this afternoon, and as the act is still our headliner I think a large share of the patronage can b attributed to them. 23 min, full stage.
