laughable.

the stage IN a grand and comical minstrel
show Elmer Tenley and Teddy Simonds
handle the bones in frst-class shape, while
Dan Mason and Charles Godfrey take care of
the tambourines Elmer +. Lawton serves as
interocutor in an efficient manner.
The jokes and songs are all new and most of
them are original with the members. Tenley,
Smonds and Mason aro the life of the whole
company.
After the minstrels Charles Godfrey sings
several artistic songs and gives clever exhi-
bition of buck and wing dancing. Alice Lin

decided hit in her serio-comic songs. The vo-

tertaining.

new ones have been added to the list and n
very pleasing entertainment was listened TO
by those present at the Casino last evening.
Melville and Conway in their original
musical farce are highly entertaining, while
Knoll and Mcneil in their solos and duets on
the instrument that every American citizen
takes delight in listening to- the cornet, were
delightful

storm by their dancing and singing. Tyrene
and Eveline, in their Partisan dance, showed
some very graceful movements.
Bolle Black and Geneva Ardell sang new
songs that were very catchy. Hasten, Duey
and Hasten, the black face comedians, sprung
several OF the latest jokes and introduced sew
