729 - L. Jan. 26:4/4 - Ramsey's minstrels made their debut in Cleveland
under discouraging circumstances. The streets were in terrible con-
dition, and few ventured out. The minstrels also had to compete with
the attraction at the Academy of Music.
The program was an excellent one. Solos, rendered by Stout and
Stratten, clogging, music, and wit filled the evening. - - (4)
