Al. G. Field 81 Co.'s Min strels.

Al. G. Field & Co.'s Min strels.
AL. Fields NIinstrels are booked to
play at Munro's opera house Thursday
evening, January %. Commenting upon
the performance at Dallas, Texas, the
Morning News of that city says:
A gentleman who attended the minstrel
performance last night looked at his
watch upon the final ring down of the
curtain and turning to his companion
said: sit can't be possible this thing is
over. thought it was about 9:45
o'clock" No doubt scores Of the large
audience present thought the same thing.
1t is no stretch of the truth to say it was
the best performance Of the kind Dallas
has had for years. Why do yon ask.
The answer is easy and will meet with
hearty Endorsement from every one pres
emit. The company is made up of clear
cup talent in the minstrel line; there
were just chestnuts enough to make the
| contrast more brilliant in favor of the
originality everywhere apparent, and the
work was, from first to last, as good as
men in love with it can make it.
There was no intermission in the per-
Torrance. None was wanted. No fell
low was going out for a drink of-water
| or peanuts, for fear of missing some
thing.
Al. Field s. Co. have the public down
fine: The former go in to entertain even
to holding people down tight in their
seats, with succession of bright things
coming in such rapid succession that the
old "'tween the acts'' topper forge,s his
| habits or is too weak from laughter to
| mi rOar
the dramatic critic of the News last
night. ''Henceforth, said he, 81 am a
minstrel And then he went forth a
new man. Jim Wall did it; so did Field
and Mcleod, Mack and the rest.
The News uDequivocally cOmmends
| this minstrel performance. 1t is all
through too good to tell. Go and see it.
Ladies may attend the matinee and be
charmed with the music and thrown into
| eOnvulsive laughter with the endless oddi-
ties. Jim Wall will make cry-baby for
get it's occupation Take your darling
| bawler out and cure him. This is all and
this is enough to say of Mr.. Fields flock
Of the rarest minstrel birds that has been
| here for many seasons.
Only a Farmers Daughter.
Miss Jean Voorhees,, the beautiful
niece of Senator Voorhees, of Indiana,
will appear at Munro's opera house Tues
day evening, February 2, as the "Adven-
turess," in ''Only a Farmers Daughter. ="
Her dramatic force is commended by the
press; her tenderness is extolled, and,
says the Memphis Appeal, her wardrobe
is captivating. She is ably supported by
the same metropolitan company which
made the recent hit in New York. This
play is thrilling story Of American
home life, appealing direct to the sympa-
thies of the masses.
The S.. Louis Republic says that Miss
Voorhees, bore off the hohors and easily
captured The audience at her appearance
as the star in ''Only a Farmers Daugh-
ter in that city Among her support
are the brilliant child actress, Ada, and
the beautiful and piquant soubrette, Miss
Leslie Lyle.
The Omaha Bee says the play has some
very startling situations, pretty tableaux,
and the denouement is novel, pleasing and
surprising.
There will be rush for reserved seats.
