On at 2.16, 20 min, in 1. I could not see where this act came in for $250 when I saw it in New York last week and our audience this afternoon seemed to be of the same mind as myself. The opening of the act drags, while Warren’s make-up as a wench is what saves the finish. Blanchard is working black-face here this week, which, in my opinion, improves the act, for I do not think that any audience wants to see a white man making love to a negro. Blanchard’s stage appearance in white-face is anything but attractive, and his ideas of dressing are something awful. In the black-face this is not noticeable.
