MUCH PRAISE GIVEN TO
GRAND JUNCTION PEOPLE
Yesterday Afternoons Glenwood Pa
pers Grow Enthusiastic Over
the Big Entertainment of
Saturday.

There is no doubt but what the
Grand Junction and Palisade young
people who went down to Glenwood
Springs last Saturday and put on
the big minstrel, musical and vau-
deviIle entertainment pleased as new
er home talent show given in Glen
wood Springs had pleased before.
Thursday night of this week the big
production, with several additional
features, will be produced for the
first time in Grand Junction.
Local people will read with inter-
est the following comments made by
the Glenwood Post and the Glen
wood Avalanche in yesterdays edi-
tions, and here published locally for
the first time:
The Glenwood Pest says:
Saturday evening the people of
Glenwood Springs had an opportun-
ity of witnessing as fine an amateur
performance as has appeared in
Glenwood when the minstrel and
vaudeville show was put on by the
people from Grand Junction. All
the members of the company acquit-
ted themselves in an exceedingly
creditable manner and at no time did
amy of them seem to be affected with
stage fright which cannot always be
said of amateur performers.
THE opening scene showed the
entire company on the stage, and on
the ends were the customary end
and bones men. The first part was
taken up with lot of good jokes
and songs. Several jokes were
sprung on some of our prominent
citizens which were greatly enjoyed
by the audience. One thing that
made a hit was a poem entitled
"Glenwood's Future" which Is found
elsewhere In this paper.
Following this scene came lot OF
specialties consisting OF songs taken
from various operas. Each was well
rendered and showed that much
time had been spent in preparation.
| They were all 30 good that 1t Is i'm
possible to pick out any one as be-
| ing the best, and that they were all
| enjoyed was shown by the fact that
nearly everyone was obliged to re-
spond to an encore. The closing
number was entitled "Uncle Sammy's
Sweetheart" and was participated in
by the entire company. During this
number colored streamers OF paper
were thrown out in the audience.
Taking it all In all 1t was very
enjoyable entertainment and should
they decide to come here again they
will no doubt receive as good a well
come as they did this time"
The Glenwood Avalanche says:
1.-The Peach City minstrels. which
hail from Grand Junction. were in
the city last Saturday night and
treated our people to some of the
finest musical numbers ever heard
In this city. 1t Is not often that a
home talent show has more than
one or two people who are capable
of entertaining to the extent of be-
ing encored after each turn, but the
entire troupe from Grand Junction
made more than good and each men,
ber was required to respond to sew
eral calls.
The Grand Old Flag" Camp
fire." "Armourer's Song" and May
pole scenes were very pretty and SO
decidedly novel that they made great
hits with the audience.
There were several remarkably
good voices, and the full chorus had
been trained to a point of perfec-
.tion. Taking it as a whole. this en-
tertainment was first class, and when
the members are in better control
of their actions on the stage, they
need have no hesitancy in presenting
the entertainment before any audi
ence.
"Glenwood people who attended
the entertainment were more than
pleased, and should these people de-
eide to come again, we feel sure
they would play to n packed house,
for they gave good, clean musical
treat"
