YOUNG LADIES In BLACK.
THE MINSTREL SHOW IS A HOWL.
ING SUCCESS.
Personnel of the Talented Company
of Society Amateurs-The Per-
Torrance Witnessed BY Large
Audience.

A huge, bowling, artistic, Ethiopic
success is the Ladies' minstrel show,
given last night at the theater in the
interests of charity. Society was
equally represented on the stage and
in the audience, the attendance being
on the crushing order down stairs, but
very meager in the gallery regions. 1t
was a brilliant spectacle that met the
gaze Of the audience when the curtain
first rose. Fifty-four young ladies,
ranged tier above tier, all black as
ebony, attired in the gayeSt of red,
white, blue, yellow and black dresses,
the four regulation tambourines on one
end, the four regulation bone artists
on the other stood beside their chair,
and at a signal simultaneously took
their seats. A hearty round of ap-
plause greeted the spectacle. From
| thence on for the next two hours the
audience INDUCED in one busy guess
ing contest, trying to fix the identity
of the ebony, sphinX-like faces, whose
beauty, alas, was as completely hid
den as though the thickest mask COW
cred their countenances. The opening
medley was charmingly done, Profess
sor Careless and his men giving the
airs the true minstrel ring, and an
encore was called for. This was the
rule of the night thenceforward-no a
single number was given that was not
encored. The Herald man, by dint OF
double magnifying glass of extra
power. is enabled to disclose the iden-
! tity of those who sat on the front
row and assumed the principal roles.
! All the others contented themselves
with remaining seated in the back
ground and battling their friends in
| front. First came the beautiful tones
of Mrs. Jennie Hawley Woodrow
Loves Me-" the effect was almost start
/ ling, but huge applause and an encore
greeted the singer. Next one of the
| end ladies, Mrs. Matte Royle King
| Miss Downey), next Miss Marion Tit
| (ScalchD, next Miss Olive Jennings
! Miss Sam Park) next Miss Harley
| (Emma Eames), next Miss Julia Dean
Miss Bonnie X. Smith, next Mrs.
Plummer (Melbra), next Miss Birdie
Dwyer (diss Eddie Wicksl, next Miss
Olive Donnellan (Nordica). All
these rendered songs and all were Ell
cored. It is no disrespect to the others
to say that Miss Dwyer was the hugest
hit as walk around artist, and
that she only need to engage couple
of bloodhounds, a Little Eva, an UI-
Gle Tom and go starring as Topsy.
Miss Deans act was also eXcellently
done, and it goes without saying that
the singing of the other ladies was
charming. The interlocutor's part was
cleverly filled by Mrs. Trunlbo, and
in addition to those named Miss Aggie
Judge (Kennie Kern Miss Jean Groo
(Jimmie Pollock Miss Risner (Bobbie
Glendinning) and Miss Weber Harry
Shearman) ofIiciated as end ladies Emo
INDUCED in the usual conundrums. The
quartette by Mesdames Piummer, Tit
Woodrow and Donnellan was beautt-
fully rendered; the dancing excellently
executed by Miss Darling; a clever lit
| tie act, and one that was greatly ap-
plauded was the song and dance of the
Apple Sisters, .Seedy' and Corey;
