Dockstader's Miustrels

From Lowell, Mass, Courier, March 9th, 1885,
Dockstader's Ministries attracted a
very large and highly respectable au-
dience at Huntington Hall Saturday
evening, and afforded great satisfac-
ton by their exceptionally fine sing
ing and irresistible comicalities. Vo.
calists of higher grade are seldom
heard, and the constant fun incident
to minstrel troupe was made doub-
ly enjoyable through the exquisite
quality of music which constantly
prevailed. The chorus was also made
specially effective by the introduction
of the natural soprano voices of seve-
raj boys, producing heeffect of mixed
rather than male voices and the rem
dering of Schubert's Serenade, solo
and quartette, was faultless. The
travesty of the Wagnerian opera
craze was a great hit, even if selec-
,tions from the bohemian Girl"
"Trovatore" and other popular operas
were rather freely Wagnerized for the
occasion, and Blamphin, the harpst,
gave splendid exhibition of his skill
for an encore performing the Turkish
March with almost the effect of a
Thomas orchestra. The electric
railroad scene, and the tragic repre-.
sentatious of Shakespeare and Bacon,
as illustrated, must be seen to be
appreciated The whole performance
was amusing, refined, end exceedingly
satisfactory.
