The wedding of Mr.. George W.
James and Mrs. Henrietta Smith took
place at the residence of the brides
sister, Mrs. H: B. Howard, 582 St.
Anthony avenue, last Tuesday evening,
and was the most pleasant social func-
ton of the week. Rev. D.. w. Carter,
of Pilgrim Baptist church, performed
the ceremony. Mrs. R. G. Minor sang
a solo and played the wedding march
as the bridal party entered the par
lor. The home was filled with friends
Of the contracting couple. The bride
wore brown silk trimmed beautifully
with white. Refreshments were serv-
ed in the dining room. Mrs. D. E.
Beasley poured coffee and Mrs. c. E.
James served the cream. The table
was beautifully decorated with roses.
The bride was the recipient of large
number of handsome presents.
Minstrelsy as it is to-day is probably
best illustrated by that illustrious and
prolific producer, VIM: H. West, who
for many years has been looked upon
as the greatest exponent of all that is
big, new and novel in the minstrel
world. His fertile brain has conceiv-
ed probably more great acts than any
other minstrel performer. This is all
the more remarkable in field that is
somewhat limited in it's possibilities.
To constantly supply the demand for
original acts, ideas and new features is
a task not enviable. vet who can say
that a West minstrel performance has
ever been devoid of novelty All the
biggest and most expensive acts,
original and ginger comedians, the
greatest and highest salaried singers
can surely be found under the West
banner.
Mr.. West has organized this season
what is claimed to be the best minstrel
show it has ever been his proud dis
tinctiOn to be connected with. ~.
1t includes forty Or more leading
artists and several features in an olio
of superior merit, any one of which
would be sufficiently strong to be the
whole show with some other organi-
cations. The vocal corps, like all the
previous West performances, includes
the greatest singers known to the min
strel stage, while the roster of come
dians simply defes comparison, in
fact the comedy features with the show
this season are very strongly brought
to the front in a program of mirth,
music and melody. The street parade
also differs from all previous attempts
in this line and is this season quite
spectacular in its efferts.
Mr.. West and his Big Minstrel Jubi-
lee will be seen at the Grand the COM
ing week, commencing Sunday night at
Sis.
