METRoPoLITAN'S MINSTRELS
Society Folks Have Very Pleasant
Evening with Amateur
Entertainers.

At Metropolitan club last night there was
a holiday entertainment, Jewish society folk
appearing clad in a strange garb, clouded
with a new complexion and with their eyes
apparently tilted at a new angle. The
bill was divided, the first olio being con-
tributed by about twenty young women who
had been trained by Prof. Chambers to pro-
duce the wedding Of the Chinee and the
Coon" under the personal supervision of
Mrs. Hugo Brandeis. The second olio was
black-face minstrelsy, exclusively mascu-
line.
For the Monaghan Ethiopian nuptials the
cast included Miss M. Haslacher as One
Lung, who owns a laundry. Miss r. Spies
berger, as Ruth Ann Morgan, a lady Of
color; Miss Minnie Meyer, attendant to
groom, and Miss Ella Resented, attend
ant to bride. Miss Laura Goetz sang that
she Wanted Them Presents Back" Misses

sang in Chinese costume and fashion.
daintily and with a pleasing effect upon
the audience, who applauded again and
again. The coon contingent, represented
by, Misses Hattie Dreyfus, Regina Green
and Ray Cohn, came for equal honors after
ward when the trio san of Josephine,
My Joe" and or the innocent Maid" ac-
~companying the words with steps as they
sang. The first curtain was lowered on
the "Song of the Kangaroo" from THE
Burgomaster," well sung and we'll danced.
The minstrel carnival was on the sched-
uled lines Of black-face work, with Harry
L. Cohn, Mark Heller, Bernie Rehfeld and
]. Spiesberger as the end men and Simon
Goetz as the interlocutor. The principal
hits of this part were the parodies by H.
Cohn, "Ain't that a Shame" as sung by
Mr.. Rehfeld; "Just One Girl" as sung by
Mr.. Jake Spiesberger, and the Game Of
Eyes" as sung by Mr.. Sol Goldstrom.
In the grand finale" the entire company
appeared in support of Dave Rubin, Carl
Furth, Julius Dreyfus and Joe Rosenfeld.
For the wedding scene the stage of the
club auditorium was set In an Oriental
effect, with paper lanterns and much fol-
iage. The setting for the minstrel part
was the conventional one of covered chairs
but the performers dressed the parts"
conscientiously and, in the first part, quite
deliberately. The entertainment was dis
tinctly a club affair and was followed by
the customary informal hop.
