AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

There is little that is new in the per-
Torrance given by Oliver SCOTS col
ored Ministries, as seen at the CraW-
ford theater Tuesday night. The vocal
numbers consist almost entirely of
songs that have served their appren-
ticeShip on the minstrel stage, many of
the jokes are feeble with age and some
tainted with VUlgarity, and the oliO
presents nothing in the way of q nov
city, with the exception of a hand bal
ancing act. NOtwithstand, the per-
formers successfully succeeded in en-
tertaing the large audience, and ap-
plause was unstinted.
The cOlored trick bicycle rider with
the company, Arthur Maxwell is an
exceptional performer in his line and
has several new wrinkles in trick rid
ing in his stock. Kitchi, the japanese
hand balancer demonstrates wonderful
upper extremity strength in a number
of difficult turns. The remainder of
the second part is made up. of a fair
slack wire juggling act, a mOnOlOgue
sketch by Clarence Powell who fails
in an attempt to be amusing, a song
and dance turn by James White, who
is the clever comedian Of the company,
an acceptable musical speciality, and a
noisy arrangement announced as a
rag time ball"
Colored people predominated in the
audience, and the performers consider
ately pandered to their race.
