One of the best negro minstrel per-
formances ever witnessed in st. Joseph
was that given by Beach and Bowers
company at the Crawford Theatre =.
The Beach and Bowers company make
no boast of mastodOnic proportions,
but it is credible organization through
out and the show presented is entertain
ing from beginning to end. The dane.
ing is better than was ever executed by
Primrose s. Vests 60-count thence
company and there is no room for i'm.
provement in the singing. A splendid
dance turn is done by some man who
was introduced by the interlocuter as
the champion clog dancer in the
world" but whose name is not on the
bills. The songs presented in the first
part were mostly new and were received
with greet favor. A funny turn at the
close of the olio, as minstrel men call
it, is the takeoff on S0usa aud his band
However, Sousa is not Frenchman, as
James Stewart seems to believe. One
of the most pleasing features of the
performance is the appearance of the
vocal quintet composed of Hammond,
Comes, Brown, Stewart and Wilson in
several delightful selections. The
speciality work of Bobby Beach and
Otis Bowers is extremely ludicrOus and
Frank Hammond does a funny turn In
monologue, song and parody. In fact
there are many features worthy of ex-
tended mention, not the least deserving
of which is the performance at the con-
clusiOn by troup of trained dogs un.
der the direction of Bobby Beach.
