Birmingham Galte, of Wednesday, December 27th,
remarks:—

VANCa's Porri..ll CoNCEitis —The Exchange Rooms
were crowded to overflowing by an enthusiastic audience.
In Mr. Vance's Entertainment there is su abundance of
material fitted to amuse. Among all the comic singers
of the day there are nowt that surpass Yance. Though
in all entertainments of the hind the performer,. must in
their impersonations 'exaggerate the leadiu' feature,' to
use Sans Slick-8 expression, the great point to to know
how far exaggeration should go. If it is carried to ex-
cess the result is a vulgar eau irature. It is Vonee's great
merit that lee strikes the just nit diunt in this respect, and
flle h. 1,1-1 oiled is that the fladtence See kli,re tiara charge.
