Gideon's Minstrels At Clinton Impresses Large Audience
The Economic last night hosted Gideon’s minstrels, touted as the largest colored troupe on the road this season. The show earned praise for its lively pacing, strong singing, and clever stories, with Mrs Parker and Lem Parker receiving high notices for stage presence and vocal strength. John Pamplin’s accident during the noon parade caused a delayed performance, and the act was halted for the evening. The review predicts strong box office, with a return engagement likely, as the company proves a first class entertainment value and skillful production overall. Grand opera house on Saturday September 27 offers matinee and night shows.
