BLACK FACE SHOW AT MASON
SUCCESSFULLY STAGED
MOST ELABORATE EVER GIVEN
IN THE CITY
House Crowded to Capacity and Per-
Torrance Closes Without Single
Hitch-High Class Line of
New Jokes and Songs

The Los Angeles chapter of the
American Institute of Banking put
Dull Care to flight last night by the
first Of its two minstrel shows at the
Mason opera house. The second per-
Torrance will be given this evening.
Most any kind of a crouch, no matter
how deep seated or of how long stand
ing, would have vanished like your
friends when you're broke. before the
black-face buffoonery handed out by
George w. ToWle's merry testers. The
entertainment was the most successful
of it's kind ever given in Los Angeles,
and tickets for tonight's show are at
a premium.
Very few of the venerable pleasant
| tries of the end men crept into the
dialogue and the show was full OF
ginger from Mr.. Forces song at the
| opening to w. b. Shipley's Good BY,
Flo" song at the close. The latter UNI
doubtedly was the hit of the enter
tainment. Mr.. Shipley, assisted by
chorus in Directoire gowns, displaying
modish hairpin figures, rendered the
famous Conan hit in a way that would
have made the author go home ana
kick over the furniture with envy

Every number was a hit. C. Win
che1l impersonated prima donna IN
a way that deceived the entire audi
ence. He rendered an air from Lucia"
and the Rose Said to Me-" singing In
| a womans voice and reaching high ID
natural. Other songs were: Jungle
Mr.. Phister; I'm So Sleepy" Mr..
BOYLE. There were a number Of other
high class black-face specialties, any
one of which would have been in place
in any professional entertainment.
| The staging and costuming is said
to have been the most beautiful and
elaborate ever attempted in an enter
tainment of the kind in the city.
