Plantation Melodies.


Never having anything classical about
them, not sulled to the fastidlous ear OF
the professional musician, there is vet
something undesirable in the so.called
plantation" melodies which charms
the heart of the great mass Of common
humanity the world over. The immense
success OF the two or three troupes Of
genuine "Jubilee Singers" that have
mace triumphal progress through this
country and Europe. attest the hold
their songs have on humanity. The old
plantation merry makings have passed
away with slavery, but now and then one
on journey in the South will have an
opportunity to hear something of the real
sort. Besides, the Southern states are
delightful tor winter tour. The mag.
nltcent service of The Burlington, u
reaching both Chicago and St. Louis owe,
its own tracks, without change of cars,
makes it the favorite of travellers bound

resolutely and theoretically exert them
selves in the opposite direction. AS a
vehicle for their united powers, the
comedians have chosen the new musical
satire entitled U and 1, which initials
stand for "Ungerblotz" and ''Innes.'
Mr.. Williams is the ''U'' and Mr.. Kelly
the a." Their satirlcal comicality is an
amusing, animated picture of life in the
hat residences 80 numerous in New York
City. Novel and funny situations crowd
the satire, which further abounds in new
music and fresh dances. Gus Williams
is to perform his inimitable discordant
piano solos, and Mr.. Kelly has a col.
lection of amusing tpecialties, which he
will scatter at every performance. A
leader tn the cast is Miss Florrie West,
an English soubrette with method OF
her own. She had an American debut
with this company, and has become q
decided favorite with all the American
audiences before whom she has thus fa1
appeared. The remainder of the east il
