AL EIELDS MINsTRELS.

Al. Fields comes to the Opera
House on Friday night. The basis
Of minstrelsy is music, both vocal
and instrumental. The definition
of the word minstrel" is one who
sings ard accompanies himself on
a musical instrument. To present
a pleasing minstrel performance
without music and plenty of it is
like dancing without the enlivening
strains of an orchestra. Al. Fields
recognizing this fact has fortified
{ his forces with not only large or
chestra and band, but a number of
individual musical specialties. At
the head of these are kingabury
and Creve, the musical comedians.
These gentlemen are not only fine
musicians, but comedians as well.
They have an act built upon new
lines. The comedy flashes are
sparkling with wit, the music of a
more than pleasing kind. The rope
and dog, all the unique instru-
ments used. are original with
Kingsbury and Greve. Their num-
Der on the program of the Al. G.
Field Greater Ministries is one of
the bright gems of the show. The
press teens with praises of their
cornak aud saxaphone duet.
