1t was only few years ago. comparative
ly. that the words, "Forty-Count Them
Forty" as used by Mr.. Haverly. became a
household expression as representing a
magnitude of minstrelsy that could never
be surpassed by the widest stretch of i'm
agination. Nevertheless, now comes VIII
liam H. West with his Big Minstrel Jubi-
lee and in the musical first part alone
presents fifty people and complete oper-
attic orchestra. to say nothing of a dozen
notable specialists who appear only In the
olio.
And how that part OF the performance
has developed, II was only in 1881 that
the London Saturday Review, In referring
to company then performing at Drury
Lane Theater, said that such shows were
always alike-"the olio only a variety en-
tertainment of banjo playing, clog dane
ing and thSklike, by imitation negroes
The-Re WcUtjc would probably rub his
eyes If William II. Vests Big Minstrel
Jubilee. which comes to the Academy of
Music next week. should descend upon
London His description certainly has
little application to performance partici-
pated in by Ezra Kendall as great an ar
tist in his particular field as any in the
world. and probably the highest saiaried
minstrel on the stage today; Carroll
Johnson. who has been a successful star;
itIl Lewis, MCMdnOn ana hlUg. tne
great Trovollo, Charles NJ Ernest. the
Freeze Brothers. and others. "a variety
entertainment" to be sure but banjo
playing, clog dancing and the like" is
about as accurate description of it as to
briefly speak of Niagara as a waterfall
The olio as understood by Mr. West IS
a brilliant and Kaleidoscope melange of
skill melody. grace. merriment. art and
mimicry. His entire performance is said
to be, in fact. entirely novel in cOncep-
tiOn and execution. In the first part this
novelty IS attained by a most welcome
attention to musical excellence as is
shown by the names of such vocalists as
Clement Stewart, late of the Moore and
Burgess Minstrels. London; r. ]. Jose,
H. W. Frillman. Charles Kent, Ed Cor
man and Joseph Garland. The ability OF
such artists is enhanced by the large op-
cratic orchestra, specially carried by the
company and under the skilled leadership
OF Robert Carmichael who has held the
same position with the best of previous
minstrel organizations. The afterpiece
used is a spectacular presentation of Mr..
Vests Remember the Maine" 1t was
originally produced by him at the Olym-
pia, in New York, where its realism
caused a genuine sensation. In this Mr.
West will appear as Capt. Sigsbee, com
mandant of the American batIleship. and
a score of prominent national characters
will be impersonated by other members of
the company. It is said that no drama
ever given on the stage has presented
such a startlingly realistic picture. The
scenery for this and the beautiful stage
setting for the first part were specially
painted by Gros. Their cost is said to
have been upward of SEQ, and an entire
car is required for their transportation.

SOCIAL AND PERSONAL.

The up-to-date bride is too wholesomely
free of superstition to care two straws
about a rainy wedding day for any other
reason than the possible spotting of the
gown of gowns, so that yesterdays almost

dows at home, to take to themselves the
marital obligations-to love. to honor and
