At the Boyd.

At the Boyd
One doesn't expect too much Of the VIII
liam II. West Ministries with William n.
West left out. and SO one is not disap-
pointed at the show. In many essentials
the spirit OF Billy West still permeates the
performance. One of these is the music
which is strictly high-grade and first
class. Harry Sylvester sings Soldier
Boy" with much expression and the chorus
is given with lime light and variation OF
theme effects that are most effective.
Clement Stewart, an English tenor, has a
voice OF remarkable purity and great
1exibility, which was shown In its full
power in his ballad OF Dreaming and the
encore with which he responded. George
Jones, who is getting almost too big to be
called a boy" baritone any longer. has
still the powerful but melodious organ
which has been heard here before. Frank
Hammond, Jules Burnett and John f..
King contribute coon" ditties to the FIRST
part, and Billy Van unloads a lot of verbal
junk. For a finale a novel arrangement of
Way Down Upon the Suwanee River is
sung by a quintet, composed Of Messrs.
Chapman, Stewart, Jones, Sylvester and
Miller. This is really a climax and was
very much enjoyed at both parts yester-
day. In the olic are the customary dane
ing. singing, musical and acrobatic turns,
with a monologue by Billy Van. Both NATL
nee and evening performances were we'll
patronized yesterday. Another perform
ance will be given this evening.
