one. The upper gallery, which is set apart
for negroes, was filled to its capacity, but
the rest of the house was painfully empty.
The antics of those on the stage called

it was almost as enjoyable to witness the
delight OF the black spectators as TO wit

The show was magnificently staged. The
costumes were elaborate and the scenery

not of the best and the dancing did not
come up to expectations. Some of the

to spare the aged and infirm and take
away the young and vigorous. Life.
