there is nearly always some adroit en-

The Buckleys New Orleans Sere-

They claimed to have been originated

Printer Plans First Show.
~ w Ii iee4acck cfafrned that he mapped
out and planned the first complete
minstrel show ever seen in this coun-
try. He was a printer, with a great
deal of talent in the use of a banjo,
and when he mapped out his idea of
the first entertainment where there
should be no orchestra save that on
the stage, and the melodies of the
negroes should fill the whole evening,
he invited some of his friends with
musical skill, Dan Emmett, violinist;
Frank Bower, bones, and Dick Pei
ham, tambo. They had which went
off so well that they got ambitious.
They formed their company, went out
on the road and made good from the
start. Then followed a host of other
minstrel combinations, and by the
time the sos had arrived minstrelsy
was on the top crest of it's vogue.
The show of that day was much on

But the making of the St. Gothard

That route, it is figured, diverted
eight million dollars worth of traffic
every year from the st. Gents route.
Some OF this the new tunnel, the
simplon, is undoubtedly restoring.
But when France at the beginning
CT the project hesitated, Switzerland
showed every confidence and every
eagerness to help, and it must not be
forgotten that among those who took
leading part in the work were many
Swiss engineers and hundreds of
workmen.

The Berne spur will make the fifth

tions. and the sweet singers delight
ing the musical instincts of the audi
ence. Then would come the second
part, the various acts, which usually
included a wench dance, an accordion
solo, a comic song and long walk
around.
Among the early geniuses who
helped to give originality to the art
of the minstrel a member of the Buck
ley's New Orleans Serenaders. Then
he organized his own company, the
Sanford's Serenaders and Burlesque
Opera troupe.
Its plans were very artistic for this
kind of entertainment Many grand
operas were then being heard in this
country for the first time. and the
Sanford company burlesqued them in
such clever style that it had the au-
diences in the big cities screaming
with laughter.
Closed to Black Face Artists.
Sanford wanted to play permanent
ly in Philadelphia, but his theater
burned down at the start of his en-
gagement, and left without a home,
he decided to take the Eleventh
Street Opera house.
This was the beginning of the oc-
cupancy of the building by minstrels,
and there was never hiatus in the
fifty years that followed until few
weeks ago, when the building closed
its doors as the home of the black
face artist.
