The QUINLAN WALL MINSTRELS wa a REAL GEM itsFirst;Year,ancU don’t believe there ever was anothei MINSTREL PEK FORMANCE to equal it. It went through its FIRST SEASON 1 had the Honor of being BUSIN iSS MANAGER IN ADVANCE the First Season, with the Exception of about One Month; a Disagreement with the MANAGER causing me to “Break Ground.” This Minstrel Show tried it thefollowing year, and the next, only to hit the Rocks hardboth times.
