AL. G. Zelda NrInntreln.

For many seasons AL. G. Field has
stood for the best there is In minstrel
sy, and always for the cleanest This
season, it is said, he has more than sur
passed anything he has previously pro-
duced. Every act in his show, every
piece of his scenery, every bar of his
music, is said to be the quintessence OF
careful attention.
OF the fifty members of his company,
some are the same old faces who. by
means of their ability, have remained
with Mr.. Field for years. while there
are new ones in the troupe who still
have their regulations to make.
Fields Minstrels are scheduled to APP
near at the Montgomery Theatre, Tues
day matinee and night. The Grtdiron
Club, that famous organization OF
soribes, wits, statesmen and politicians,
has been burlesqued In its first part.
Diplomats and newspaper men in burnt
cork their hobbies and pet schemes, are
portrayed in this famous burlesdue. The
| chorus is said to be the strongest ever
offered in minstrelsy. The cleverest
minstrels of all minstrel men, including
such we'll known men as Press Eldridge,
the commander in chief of the army of
fun; Doc Quigley, the man with the
funny legs. and Al. G. Field.
Electrical effects and a gorgeousness
of scenery lend a picturesque effect to
| the presentation. Several strong acts
are introduced In the olio, including a
monologue by Press Eldridge, who is
making his initial appearance with the
Field forces this season in monologue
