At the GaYetY.

Rice and Bartons Gaiety Extrava-
ganza company comes to the Gayety the
atre tomorrow afternoon for a weeks
engagement. The first performance will
be Monday afternoon, and there will
be two performances every day during
the week. one in the afternoon and one
in the evening.
Charles Barton has the reputation of
being one OF the best fun makers in bur
lesque. and it is the claim of the company
that II contains more pretty girls more
good comedians and more entertaining
specialties in the olio than any other
show of the season.
Mr. Barton's ability lies in making peo-
pie laugh. He is fat and jovia1, with
hearty laugh that Is contagious. and
is always a favorite in every city. Where
he is known by the people of the city
they always hail his coming with much
pleasure and where he is unknown he
is always a favorite before the week has
grown old
The company presents farce comedy
entitled Two Married Bachelors" which
is said to be exceedingly funny. One
act proceeds the olio and the other fellows
it. Mr. Barton has the principal comedy
role and he Is assisted by corps OF
half n dozen or more comedians, several
of whom have first class regulations as
fun makers.
Among the others who assist in the
performance are Bert Baker, a clever
comedian; James and Prior, Annie Dunn
Mullen, Tesse Burns and large chorus
which. it is claimed, was chosen for its
beauty. ability to sing and dance.
Managers Rice and Barton claim that
their long experience has taught them
the wisdom of having good choruses and
that profiting from past experiences they
have selected the very best that they
could find. Many candidates appeared
and out of that number the score of
girls was chosen. Four qualifications
we're made-beauty, shapeliness, voice and
dancing ability.
In the olio there are number of vau-
deville acts which are recognized, Offering
comedy. singing and dancing speclalties.
acrobatic stunts and other varieties of
amusement.
The costumes are said to be very elab-
crate. the stage settings pretty and the
general effects out of the ordinary. The
newspapers in several other cities around
the circuit have said more kind things
about the Rice and Barton show than
any other this season. and that is gem
orally considered to be one of the best
indications of merit

people almost from the instant it was

immortal air while he was a member of
the famous Bryant's Minstrels, which he
had Joined in 1857. He was known all
ready as the composer of "Old Dan
Tucker" and he was engaged by Bryant
not only in the capacity of a stage per-
former, but also to compose negro songs
and lk-arounds. Those were the days
of the real minstrel shows, when lend

in their glory. The performance always
wound up with an ensemble called the
.walk-around," which was Cor was sup
posed to be- a genuine bit of plantation
life. The composition of fetching walk
arounds was a knack of Emmett's that
made him a valuable acquisition to a
minstrel troupe. Moreover. he had a good
voice and played many instruments, but
especially the violin and flute.
On Saturday night. September H. 1893,
after the performance. one of the Bryants
told Emmett that a new walk-around was
wanted in time for rehearsal on Monday.
The minstrel replied that. while the time
was very short. he would do his best.
THAT night after he reached home he
tried to hit upon some tune. but the
music wouldn't come. His wife cheerliy
told him to wait until morning: he should
have the room to himseil so that he could
work undisturbed, and when he had fin
ished the waIk-around, he could play for
her as sole audience. If she liked 1t
the Bryants would, and so would the av-
