Show Tha Minstrels. It is a mistake that "a while man lean beat a negro at his own game." j Tho Georgia minstrels Are all darkeys, 'several of them being thoroughbred j Africans, so black that charcoal would ; make a bine mark wu them, and yi t 'they are the- kings of colored inius ' trelsy. There is no imitation of the I old plantation - vernacular, which equals the genuine article; and when ' a white essays the rolj ot negro, he overdoes the business. But it is not bo with the Georgians, who act to the life, as they did in tii?days of slavery. They are brimful of mirth, quick-wilted, quick-wilted, droll and odJ, and yet polite land natural. During the whole 'of their perlormance last evening j they did nothing which bordered on 'the vu'.gir. We do not believe the ! troupe is surpassed in the United 1 States this land where negro mi 11-istrelsy 11-istrelsy has reached its highest state jof perfection. There were four end 'men, two bonea and two tambourines, land the faces, the gymnastic exercises, exer-cises, the evolutions they went 'through with, fairly convulsed the spectator-, whose cheering and stamping was deafening, especially when Billy Wilson would exhibit the expansive powers of his month. The chorus-Binging of the minstrels waa excellent, as was all the singing an 1 also the orchestral accompaniment. Such general satisfaction has not before been given here by a minstrel company. The audience was uuusualiy large, the house being comfortably filkd. This evening the Georgians again appear; also on Saturday afternoon and night. Full houses are "insured for the three remaining performances in this city. |
