The Mahara management pay es-
pecial attention to the vocal mum
bers on their programme. The San
Jose, Cal, saws of the performance:
"Mahara's minstrels captivated a
crowded house sat the Auditorium
last evening. From the beginning
to the end of the programme the
audiauce was kept in continual
uproar by Jest and humorous song.
The end men were happy i'll joke
and song, and created much amnse-
ment. To their individual numbers
supported by the troupe in chorus,
they were forced TO respond to
hearty and repeated encores.
Charles Cass, the man of many par
odies,' made decided hit, his songs
being new and up-to-date, and were
rendered in manner that stamped
the performer as true comedian.
The contoraiou acts of Hilliard
Brewer We're as varied as won lerful,
the performer twisting his body in
shapes and attitudes that seemed
impossible. In fact, all the perform
ers We're thoroughly at home in
their parts
