Mr.. Lew Dockstader is a rare come

witnessed the performance of Primrose

catchy local hits were simply great.

George Primrose is an oil favorite.
and his great water melon scene was

1t is one of the best minstrel troupes
that has ever visited this city. 1t is
show par excellence.
The great opening part was splendidly
staged. The singing was all of a high
order. Lew Sully's work was particu-
