Not a dull moment at the Holly Inn minstrel night
An evening of varied entertainment at the Holly Inn music room drew loud laughter and praise. A large amateur company performed songs, duets, and a minstrel show with local hits and surprises, featuring Miss Nordien Melba Russell and Miss Chloe Eliza Washington. The finale included a Dooley parody and a vaudeville farce, concluding with playful stories by Dr. J I Ackard.
