One of the very best minstrel perform
anCes ever given in this city, not excluding
the famous San Francisco Ministries, took
place at the Providence Opera House last
evening. Everything was good, and the
greater part very superior, and, for an ab-
solUte wonder, there was something origi-
nal. Mr.. Thatcher, as is well known, is
very admirable comedian. and in addition
his familiar speciality, his scene with the
telephone was an inimitable burlesque.
Billy Rice was equally original and anus
ing in his song OF ''Tidings of Comfort
And say many other features of the pro-
gramne might be specified for excellence.
and with such comedians as Thatcher, Rice,
Hughey Dougherty and the Rankins, such
dancers as Primrose and West, Frank Nc.
Nish, Charles Queen and others,a company
of Icellent vCcaiistS and fine orchestra,
the whole performance could MT but be
of the first class, as in fact it was.-P|ori.
