Rensselaer Republican, Volume 18, Number 6, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 15 October 1885 — Donavin's Original Tcnnesseeans. [ARTICLE]

Donavin's Original Tennesseeans.

Not “Tennessee Jubilee Singers,” but Donavin’s Original Tennesseeans, Colored Concert Company, is the name by which the excellent company under Mr. Donavin's mangement is known. They sing the soul stirring plantation music- delightfully, but their varied program and, wonderful talent places them in the class of thoroughly cultured concert singers, the peers of any; vocalists of any race or color. They have been imposed upon by all these one hundred and one troupes of jubilee singers who sought to succeed by misleading-The people in appropriating all or a portion of this genuine company’s name. Mi. Donavin now advertises the Tennesseeans with a successful record of twelve seasons to the people Of Rensselaer Saturday Evening, Oct., 24. Their credentials are complete.
