CADETS MINISTRIES.
The Troupe Will Appear at Newberry
Opera House Next Tuesday,
3 July 6.

of Newberry will be greeted by the
famous Cadet Minstrels on Tuesday,
July 6. Newberry being one Of the
towns stopped at in the tour of the
principal towns of the State. Man
ager Rigby has worked hard to make
this appearance Of his Troupe even
more successful than that of last
April in Charleston, and with num-
Der Of added features which are to
be used between parts, it will be a
continuous entertainment Of a high
class with no long pauses between
acts as interesting specialties, will be
put on. While some may think this IS
an unusual season Of the year for a
troupe to be on the road it ought to
be greeted by an even larger attend
ance than during the busy season, for
people are generally anxious for some
sort of entertainment to b:eak the
monotony Of the hot summer months.
It is proven fact that this high class
Minstrel will fill this long felt want.
There will be no chance of unfinished
work on the part Of the amateur min
strelsy, since practically the same ca
dets are to take the parts that they
carried through 50 faultlessly at the
previous engagement in Charleston.
In addition to this at least two hours
practice is being held every morning
in the Gymnasium Of the Army Post
on Sullivan's Island where the young
soldiers are on their annual eneamp-
ment, and when their duties permit
even longer rehearsals are made.
| A slight idea of the barrel of fun
in store for everyone that attends IS
gained by a glance at the following
rough draft Of the program as al
ready made out. Part One Will set
the crowd going with an opening
chorus Of unusual merit by the entire
company. Original gags and end songs.
| by the sweet singers Of the troupe
will have nothing usual about them
except their place on the program.
Then will follow the speeialties, coon
songs, buck dancing etc., which are
guaranteed to hold the attention OF
the spectators during the stage prep
aration for Part Two. This will be
an Olio, opened with the renditions
Of the Jedburg Concert Band, and In
cluding two brand new features IN
the show. The spectacular silent dr7ll
and the drill Of the Awkward Squad
by the sons Of Ham.
The specialties sandwiched between
the second and third acts will include
the most amusing musical novelties
bv the deservedly popular Chicago
Baritone, Mr.. Don H. Gesterfeld, the
musical director of. the company. The.
Grand Finale will be the Ill-Treated
Trovatore which received such a
sl1e-splittng welcome before IN
Charleston.
It is confidently said by those who
have seen the rehearsals that the new
Awkward Squad Drill will equal in
every respect the Marion Square
Dance which was the big h1 OF the
'previous show, and which will itself
be repeated.
Immediately after showing in Char
lesion the Troupe will take the road
for a two or three weeks trip, having
hooked twelve Of the larger towns OF
the interior, where the same big show
will be repeated in each case.

for putting up the real article in this
line that the cadets have already
made. it is anticipated that a packed
house will greet the performance tor
each engagement, while the interest
that every true South Carolinian
takes in the "West Point Of the
South should be a guarantee of a
liberal support
