BLACK AND TAN MINSTRELS.
How much pleasanter can an evening
be spent than in listening to the rolllck-
ing and songs, the pathetic BALLADS Uae
sonorous choruses and the re1uVenateo
witticisms of a high grade minstrel snow.
The black face boards have always nelo
the affection of the American theatre-go-
ers. and in particular the minstrel shows
of tbe Portland wheel club have ever oc-
cupied special approbat1ye nlche IN
the estimation of the people of Portland.
The standard of the clubs previous
efforts will not be lowered, nor the effect
nlarred by coarseness. From the rise OF
curtain to the end OF the show contin-
nous action will be the order Of the day
or rather night. Tiresome waits, will be
conspicuously absent. Remember the sale
of seats opens Wednesday, February 2. The
performances at the Jefferson. theatre, Fri

and Duets by members of the quartette
were warmly received. Mr.. Latham

an organ solo, showing most correct

musical player. He has a pleasing touch

was particularly happy in the Rubinstein
