It was spontaneous and came from the audience that filled every seat in the house. stood in the aisles and fringed the gallery as thiclzly as ever a cotton field was touched with white-only this fringe was, for the most part, of different color
 The show Is a combination of everything on tho market, from the old-time black face bones and tambourire men through the various vaudeville, circus, comedy and tragedy classes to Fields himself. It is varied but it is good. In fact, it was so good yesterday afternoon and last night that no person left the theatre with the blues
 The curtain first rose upon a splendid picture scene representing a part of New York. Only two persons were in sight, but soon the gallant band of musicians, singers and dancers marched in and were seated. During the first part sev- eral panoramic views of New York were shown, concluding with a representation of storm in the harbor. This view was particularly splendid, showing drifting clouds, a rising moon, heavy storm clouds and lightning in a thoroughly realistic manner.
 In the first part Reese Prosser and Matt Keefe divided the honors, so far as vocal selections were concerned. Pros ser has perhaps the best and clearest tenor voice on the minstel stage today. His work this season shows an improve ment over what 1t was last season. and that is saying a great deal. Last night | he was forced to answer three encores. Matt Keefe was also favored by the audi ence with sufficient applause to force l three encores. His yodel song was one of the most effective and pleasingly render ed heard in the south in many years Tommy Donnelly, John N. Phillips. Billy Murray and Doc Quigley all pleaced won- derfully well in their old time minstrel work but 1t was left to Al Fields to work the audience to its highest pitch
 Fields is the big man of the show in every way and his monologue was screamingly funny. It seintilated with wit with effective puns and was deliv- cred with peculiar attractiveness in voice and manner It continued for five min utes and during that time there was not face in the audience which was not wreathed with smiles. and not voice but was affected with laughter.
 The D'Arvilles were applauded for their difficult work with handbells. Their selections were well rendered. The musi- cal Mignan family of four men, with their barber shop instruments, did sev- eral pleasing selections which brought forth much applause. The novelty of their act is it's chief feature, however.
 The Faust family of ten proved good aerobats The greatest applause was brought forth by the little fellows, though all were clever The concluding travesty, King of the Filipino" was re lieved of monotony by the song of the 1 Filipino. H. G.
