Beach & Bowers, Minstrels.

Beach & Bowers Minstrels were
greeted with a crowded house last
evening. In justice to the company
we will state the show was first-class
in every respect. The singing was
good and several new features intro
duced were encored until the house
fairly shook. The first part does
away with stale gags and gives re-
freshing opening consisting of singing
by the Starlight Quartette, which is
an exceptionally good one, notably so
the singing of Mr.. Jas. Mclaughlin,
who has bass voice hard to beat.
Bobby Beach in his artistic dancing
was immense and responded to four
encores while Otis Bowers makes fun
enough to keep the audience in humor
for a week. Hake, the contOrtionist,
and Harry X. VokeS in his "Fnn on
the Quiet" are artists of superior abil-
ity. The latter does some of his work
quite as we'll as the famous McNish
and in the opinion of some is even
ahead of that famous artist. Dick
Richards with his guitar and budget
of songs was brought out five times in
response to the calls of the audience.
The entire performance was good and
the boys will play to a packed house
should they come here again. Du-
