What Dockstader Says.
Lew Dockstader, who may be fairly
said to stand at the very highest
among the minstrel performers Of this
country, superintends every minute de-
tail of his organization. Not. only
der his watchful eye but he also gives
his personal attention to the construc--
ton painting and arrangement of al
the stage setting and scenery.
During a conversation with Mr.
Dockstader recently regarding affairs
of minstrelsy. he said:
Without wishing to detract in the
performances fthe past. it can be
honestly stated that there is no COM
parison between minstrelsy of to-day
and minstrelsy of other years. 1t is
Very much like the presentation OF the
Shakesperean vdrama without scenery.

the superb presentations of the great
