The debut of Scott & ROmden's
New Ideal Minstrel Troupe was at
tended by a crowded house on Mon
day night. The performance was, as
the name OF the troupe indicates, a
new idea and decided advance upon
the usual stock show. The music was
very fine, all of the performers being
excellent artists, and no low wit is
tolerated by the popular manager.
Messrs. Clark and Williams are spec
ialists in their role of Pullman palace
car porters, and their part is mirth
provoking and still in good taste.
Messrs. Howe and Wall brought down
the house with their unique musical
sketch, in which they play all sorts of
instruments Jointly and severally.
The troupe gave second entertain
ment on Tuesday evening which drew
out large audience.
