when they appeared here a year ago.
The News said at the time: "The the
atrical season opened for the year in
the Norfolk Auditorium last night with
the William II. West MINISTRIES and
the first night proved a success in
every way. The theater was crowded
with people who had not seen show
for several months through the hot
summer and they were delighted with
the minstrel production. The company
is clever and kept the audience laugh
ing from the rise to the fall of the
curtain. Among the more popular of
the new songs which were sung were
"Silver Threads Among the Gold" by
William Renaud, who has beautiful
soprano voice seldom owned by
man; preacher and the Bear" by
Billy Graham; waiting at the
Church" and Hes An Indian" by
George Van" The company was nice
ly costumed, the music was all catchy
and clever and many of the jokes were
new and rich. 1t was by far the best
minstrel show ever seen in Norfolk"
Billy Graham and George Van are still
starring with the company. A splen-
did orchestra is said to be an attrac-
tive feature this season.
