METROPOLITAN THEATER.-The Charley
Reed Ministries had good house last even
ing. The company acquired its present
title while in San Francisco, when Mr..
Reed was related to it, he not now being a
member of it, But the audience had 10
reason whatever to complain of the COM
pany. It's a thoroughly good troupe and
gives a fresh and varied performance, full
of wit, groteSque acts and charming music.
The orchestration is especially good. D
X. Hawkins. well-known and popular
minstrel, is interlocutor, with Bert Hayerly
as tambo and Charles Y. Seamen, new
face here. as bones. Both end men are
good, original and very yivacious. The
quartet IS q good one, the baritone of W
!. Bishop and the 5asso, Franz Wctter, be-
ing especially noticeable. The latter has a
powerful voice, rich in tone and full of the
draDatic quality 1t is well adapted to
the work he has to do, and is
very effectively handled. His solo, The
Last Chord was an innovation on the
usual style of yocalism heard in minstrel
entertainments, rising as it did into Il far
higher realm and being classic in style and
lofty in theme. The encore ii received
was thoroughly sincere, and testified to the
appreciatiyeness of the musical people in
the audience. Seamen and Girard, in their
character acts are very pleasing, but Gus
Mills, femaleimpersonator, is unquestiona-
bly, the best of the troupe in DISCUSSES His
burlesque of a concert hall singer has not
been surpassed and his falsetto is as near
an approach to the female voice as is heard
in any company. Seamen, Girard, Hay-
erly, Wilson and Cameron in grotesque and
eXtravagant acts were very interesting. A
very ludicrOus burlesque, being "Girard' :
version of Clotilda, created a great deal of
merriment, and was ludicrousiy absurd.
All the songs, gags and circle business of
the company are new and crisp As a
whole the troupeis one of pleasing singers,
good inStrGmentaists and excellent min
strel performers, and can be trusted to give
a thoroughly enjoyable evening of modern
negro minstrelsy. A matinee this after
noon, another performance tonight and a
