Gnelisbman's Success i'm Trenebmar1's Play

strelsy's hall Of fame'D. is under way
VIXEN we arrive for we have been
fashiOnably slow at dinner. We count
forty men on the stage. They wear
the Tuxedo coats and white vests of
semi-formal evening dress, They
might be cOStumed in tOgas apprOpri-
ately, for they are not seated on chairs,
but on stony tiers OF benches in the
ancient Roman shape The endmen
have separate seats in TIE same cias-
steal style at the front corners. They
are not TanbO and Bones. for they
don't use the afOretime tools of fun
TO thWack and rattle. The middleman
addresses them as Mister O'Brien and
Mister Johnson. Their collars are of
the same pattern as the other fellows,
their wigs are not eXaggerative and
their mouths are not painted wide.
They are the third relay Of jokers, as
we see by the bill We are barely i'm
time 70 hear a daTkey song from one
and an Irish song from the other
The forty men rise from the benches
as one and face the left upper en-
trance expectantly; the musicians
blare, beat. sCrape and twang loud
peGn, a moment OF impressive stiffness
ensues, and then the interlOcutOr. hith-
erto consequential of air, tones his re-
sonant voice with defeFentiaI awe II
seems as if he ought to say Behold
how loW-Great Caesar comesi" But
his announcement is, Mr.. Lew Dock
stader,' The boss of the show saun-
tiers in with easy uTbauity and mods
rather than bows 10 the audience.
O'Brien and Johnson fade away Dock
stader takes one Of the vacated end
seats, while the other is left empty. for
the idol of 'minstrelsy's hall Of fame"
will have no mate on the opposite ped
estal, except that the middle one says
just enough TO give to the chiefs mono
lOSue a faint semblance Of dialogue.
Perhaps DOckstader's theatricism Of
entrance keeps the audience from ap-
piauding il. but likelier the quietude OF
his reception is due to the nifty Broad
way feeling that we shouldn't greet any
mere minstrel cordially; but anyway it
doesn't matter, for the funny fellow
sets US laughing at once with a string
of new jokes and anecdotes. After ten
minutes Of them he retireS, and doesn't
return until it is time for him TO sing
two bully good songs like a clever MINI
etc actor. Then he disappears again
for he won't stay on the stage a mo-
ment while anyone else is doing any
thing. And why should he? The aud
fence doesn't care for others when he
is in sight, and what's the use of his
owning the show if he can't shine as
the star, moon and sun of It?
