Dixie MINSTRELS
Make Fine Showing With Per-
fOrmanCe at Town Hall.

IOrinanCe al Town f1all.
The Vaudeville performance of the
Great Dixie Minstrels at the Town
Hall Thursday night was success
from beginning to end artistically
and financially. A large house greeted
the performers, who carried out their
performance without hitch or delay.
The boys are to be congratulated on
their ability to put on such clean and
interesting performance. The work of
the two Williamsons, Cameron, Ben
nett, Smith and Haskew in black face
was magnificent, and Weisener in the
only white part acted finely. The
troupe was composed of thirteen per-
formers, but the brunt of the work
was borne by the five mentioned, but
even those with minor parts were not
backward in carrying them out.
A detailed program of the events of
the evening would appear something
like this.

In part 1, the songs, Moving

were especially effective. Mr.. Will
Hanson, who sang, "She Waits by the
Sea-, - in response to recall, gave the
beautiful solo, "Asleep in the Deep, "
in fine style. The jokes were very en-
tertaining, and the work of Cameron
as right end man, was especially good
for acting
In Part 3, "Bill Poster act was
good as we'll as Benefits monologue
on marriage. The sketch by Weisen-
: er, Cameron and Smith, Keep Youl
Eye ON That Cloud" was extremely
! laughable, and we'll acted, and the
! magician work was especially inter.
! esting, several of the smart alecs be-
| ing disappointed in their gueses. The
grand close was rattler, the negro
wenches being very attractive (?) il
} make up, the cake walk was bowling
9 success, and the curtain was drawn OF
4 an exhausted audience after two hours
of laughter

: accompanist was excellent. She is ;
success in the position.
s The financial end also showed III
e well. The receipts were 1913. 40, ant

: included with the expense account

Williamson, with Ed Haskew as ad
vance agent.
