FIRST CLASS AMUSEM ENTS.
The Minstrel show.

Crandall, Clark j. Hake's Ministries play
ed at Munro's opera house last Saturday
night to only moderately fair house.
They presented a very entertaining pro-
gram and were frequently applauded. The
minstrel part of the performance was only
ordinary but the special features were real
good. Prof. Hake is wonderful contor-
ZIONIST, and to see the intricate and per-
picking knots he tied himself into was
alone we'll worth the price of admittance.
The songs and dances were also very good.
One of the most entertaining features was
the acting mechanical figures.
The Two Johns.
Munro's opera house was crowded
Tuesday night, the attraction being the
Two Johns Comedy company-one of the
best of the season. The acting was way
up in high G and hard to turn down. The
play was button-burster The two fat
Johns were the best heavyweight actors
that ever played before a Tallahassee
audience. Their combined weight is
nearly 600 pounds but they got there
Eli and kept everybody in a roar OF
laughter. The songs and dances were
superb-Prof Lince's basso solos being
extra fine. The Cassie sisters are grace
full dancers and were repeatedly encored
1t is strong company and one that will
please the most fastidious audience.

cially in his character representations
He is a comedian quaint in his way, and
kept his audience CollVuleed while he was
on the stage Charles HoWitZ was laugh
able as the census enumeratOr and gave
some clever limitations. The Kitty Per
