FINISHING TOUCHES
HIGH SCHOOL MlNSTRELS
BUSY WITH REHEARSALS.
A High Class Performance Sched-
uIed For Tuesday and We'd
nesday Evenings Next
Week.

The week past has been an exceedingly
are to take part in the minstrel show to
be given under the auspices of the High
School Athletic Association. A rehear-
sal each evening with no end of try
outs of specially, monologue and dance
artists has been the program and the pro-
duction lacks but few touches to make
it ready for presentation. During the
week the paper" has been put out under
the direction of Manager Dane jackson
and Director Jesse II. Campbell and to-
morrow the advance agents of the show
will start out to cover the surrounding
towns with the big four page program
which has been issued in a three thous-
and edition.
Mr.. Campbell early III the week finish
ed his work on the orchestrations for
the entire production and the coming
week will be devoted to dress rehearsals
with the full orchestra in attendance.
To endeavor to give the program in
full would take over a column of space
and detract from the pleasure of the
show as our readers would doubtless
prefer to enjoy the surprises that are
in store for such of them as may be
fortunate enough to secure tickets for
the production.
Just to excite the curiosity of our
readers we would mention that Ben
Stewart, Robert Hope, James Lovejoy,
Arthur Taber, Lucius Buttolph are among
the ballad singers of the company. while
that infant prodigy, Willie Foote, will
occupy an infield position.
The program is composed of the catch
lest kind of music while the olio is of
the brand calculated to dispel the blues.
Remember that to get good seat it will
be necessary to have your reservation
made Immediately. Arril "a and % are
the dates of the show.
The following is "official" from the
Department OF Publicity" of the Com
pany and gives clearer outline of what
may be expected than our own feeble
way of expressing it above.
When you hear Mr.. George Shambo
sing Good Bye Mr.. Greenback" you will
imagine that you are strolling down
Broadway and that everyone but father
is working to give you your moneys
worth. You'll get yours if you attend
the show and if you don't call it 100
per cent profit investment just to hear
Mr.. Dane Jackson render New York's
reigning success, My Name is Morgan
but it Amt j. p" you certainly want
more than belongs to you. Among the
ballad singers that will make up the
'circle" is the famous boy tenor, 16-year-
old Jamie Westall, who is to sing Dear
Starry Eyes, Goodnight" written espec-
tally for this production by tho musical
director, Mr.. Jesse II. Campbell. Among
the artists appears the name of Mr.. Ar
thur Taber of Vergennes, who will sing
a tenor solo, the theme of which is that
story old yet ever new. "Pocahontas,"
Tammany's little sister, comic effort by
Mr.. Ray Fisher the we'll known athlete
of the High school of Middebury is of
the type that excites the disabilities of
the audience while Mr. Campbell's lat
est success, my Honey Girl" as sung
by Mr.. Ben Stewart carries you back to
the days when you told the sweetest
story to that sweetheart of your boy
hood days. Ben" is the Apollo of the
company.
In the olio Mr.. Cushing Hill the local
favorite will introduce a turn labelled
Insanity" in which he proposes to sing.
All who have heard Mr.. Hill make the
heroic attempt of singing realize that
this will be the feature par excellence of
