Last night Golladsy's opera honse
was filed to oyerfiowing by the peo-
pie who were anxious to see the La.
mar boys with black faces. The La
mar audiences are so late assembling
that it was $40 before the program
was commenced with the opening
| chorus, THE Peek "A. boo Medley" /"

and showed that there was com
psny of pretty fair singers on the
stage, who only needed more prac-
tice to make melody of most any
song.

Cruel Hiss" in an expressive voice,
which brought out the sentiment of

Only Son. and IT would be good
bet TO say that his daddy was glad
of it.
The first part was interspersed

and wound up with The Darkyille
Cadets off to Spain" This was one
of the most pleasing numbers in the
whole entertainment, and the cadets
) did their eyolutions in the very best
of style.
Harry Manville and ]. A Walt
mire then opened the second part

} and then Strong and Waltmire con-
vinced the audience that they had
found peanut in the wood box, and

/ gave funny dialogue, winding up
! with some clever dancing. and D.
r W. Robinson in his original musical
/ finger notes showed that be used to
snap his fingers at the teacher in his
school days.
The rendition of the old man with
his song was one of the best mum
bers on the list, and Fred Lee dem.
onstrated that he has not lost the
beautiful voice and expressive inter
probation of song, that he used to
have years ago. Fred ought to appear
often
j. A. Waltmire stumped the audi
ence in a speech which was full of
good points, if You only saw them,

of the best jig dancing that has ever
been presented to Lamar audience.

and at the same time graceful and
in perfect time. Among so much of
real voices the phonograph had but
a short shift and only gave two Sc
lections.
