Vansciyer and Angel never performed bet
with the other, in order to entertain their pa
irons. Mr.. VIM. Gordon, who generally fig
ures conspicuously, could not take an active
part on the stage, but did good service as
" Property Man. behind the scenes, and the
Manager informed us that a great part of the
success of each piece was owing to the valu-
able services rendered by him. Mr.. Mullin-
caux made a very handsome colored belle, and
performed his various parts with great credit
to himself. Mr. Burk also did well, but was
enveloped in so much hair that we could not
see whether as Mrs. Squintim, he was good
looking or not. Early is just suited to take
the part of lover. He seems to do it SO
naturally, and with so much ease and grace
Scarborough used every cndeavor to make a
success of his parts, and succeeded handsome
ly. Ramsey makes black man to perfection,
and does all he can to entertain the audience.
The y" Dutchman," Neil Horn, improves ev-
cry year, and is becoming real favoritc with
the audience. A few improvements in the man.
ner of disposng of his hands and not quite so
much closing of his eyes, would add to his
performance Messrs. Stockton and Schermer
horn, of New Hope are deserving of special
notice on account of their excellent music and
the manner in which they performed every
piece with which they were connected They
were quite an addition to the Entertainments,
and will be looked for with pleasure in the flu
ture. Mr.. White with his concertina, and
Mr. Petrie's songs, were received with much
favor by the audience. Stephen Van Horn
did well in his part, particularly so, consider
ing that it is his first appearance. Altogether
the entertainment was a success, and our jol-
ly friend Wilson aud the rest of the company,
who filled in the various parts, should also re-
ceive their share of praise.
The :" Evening Programme gotten up by
the Manager, and printed at THE RECORD
office, proves that the Company is bound to
give all the latest novelties.
We noticed a handsome wig or head dress
of some kind standing on the platform during
the performance of the piece called the "Wig
Maker" and upon inquring found that it
was gotten up by Prof. Kennard, of our city.
"Old Hard Scrabble, was to have given Prof.
X. a puff on the stage but did not do it,
Masters Kitchin and Bird were the Mama
gers right hand men, and have been with
the Company for the last four years as errand
boys and programme distributors and are
faithful little fellows.
Mr.. Vansciyer's character of " Dir. O. III.
Stiifanyo is one deserving of special notice.
The only thing that we are sorry for is that
he has to coniine himself to SO limited a time.
We believe that the Dr." could entertain an
audience for an hour so, with his broad hui
NOR, and we hope he may get up course of
lectures for the Winter and we will insure him
Il full house.
1t would be impossible to tell which was the
best piece performed. Everybody found some
thing to laugh at in all of them. The hits in
.'Have you heard the News?" were well
made.
In conclusion, we wish to say that the sue
cess of these entertainments is in a great
measure owing to Mr.. G. II. w. Vansciver,
the Manager, WHO fills all his parts both as
manager, lecturer and performer, with great
credit. and either one is sufficient labor forone
person. -
