"The C. P. P.'s in Plymouth", Windsor Albemarle Times, 11 December 1874Notes
Text from
News-Article On Tuesday last at 11 o'clock the Steamer Bertie left her wharf in Windsor,
with the Cashie Phunny Phellows for Plymouth, to give one of their
grand entertainments at night. We learn that the good people of Plymouth
thought that our boys were going down and pick a little on the "old
banjo," and that would be all. But anyhow they turned out in large
numbers to see, so they could have the laugh on their neighbor Windsor.
At seven o'clock Goelet's Hall was full of people, anxiously waiting to
see the performance begin and from the way they laughed, they must have
been sorry when the time came to break up. We learn that everybody in
Plymouth was surprised to find out that our boy's could do so well. We
would like to know which can beat dancing, "that thing," that was pulled
out to the bag or the little boy in Plymouth. We hear "the thing" was
some the best.The Phunny Phellows have been invited to attend a good many
places, more than they can think of, as they intend giving us another
round, during christmas hollidays |
