AL G. FIELDS MINsTERLs
 AT THE GRAND.


 Surer and better than all of the har- bihgers of the autumn are Al G Field Miaistrels. They come in the sea 1 son of the year when the worlI is
 turning to the sere and yellow and
 needs brightening. It is Al G.
 Field who furnishes the necessary col
 or to make the sason acceptable and
 tonight he returns to the Grand
 Theatre. surrounded by an excellent
 aggregation.
 Al c. Field is reliable. He makes
 no exceptional claims. But like a standard variety he satisfies Just
 what makes the Field show SO attrac- tive cannot be described in limite | space. It is not because of any novel, ty, and 1t Is not because the people featured are the greatest blackface
 stars in the business, and yet the au- dienos which each season greets Mir. Field, MT. Quigley and the others of the sbon -hued comedians. leaves the theater better satisfied than with any l other minstrel show visiting this sec ton.
 There is sure to be more laughter
 in the audience than ever before this
 season. There Is sure to be more pleased faces. more expressions of ap- proval, and the wise man in the show
 business has long since learned that l it is the public which is to be please | l Montgomery people are some times ex-
 cessively critical. but are sure to en- joy the Field performance in unmeas-
 ured ways and to congratulate the star upon his company and the embel- lishments supplied to make the per formanee a good one.
 The secret of success with MT. Field
 is that there are no dull interludes, l There is snap and go with the per- formanee from the first to the final
 scene Each act follows close on the heels of the other. Perfect stage
 manASement Is the moving element of the entertainment. If there are acts
 which fall beneath the standard the audience hasn't time to find them out and there are no deficient features, The ends are strong and In other re- speots the performance satisfies every ! demand. Mir Field himself Is on the
 stage more than usual. There is pos sibly no other man In the business 30 perfectly advised as to the current happenings of his country and every political incident of national conse- ouenoe. the Cook Peary squabble, the | revision of the tariff the Hudson-Ful- ton exhibition, the race, each topic or pubI,c conseQuAnce furnishes theme for the Field humorisms. and the all ! dience is quick to see and grasp anu
 appreciate the opportunity thus offer
 ed In his monologues Al Field Is nev- :; CT disappointing. He produces lau2h- ter spontaneously and the greatest tri-
 hute paid any actor is paid him by
 people who never attend the heateF
 except when he appears.
 1 Wisely MT. Field does not depend | upon himself alone. Doc Quigley Is 1 arain the main spring. He supple
 ments MT. Fields stories and again in-
 troduces the head waiter sketch which
 was such a success few years back. 1 OuiEley is the best eccentric dancer | in America.
 There is this season an 0lio os par ticular interest. Ii is filled with new
 features and a variety of interest an" | further animates the good opinion which gathers strength with each sue
 casdinE act. The singing features are 1 also well in keeping. It Is the best
 singing orsanization that Mir Field
 has ever had. There are taoleauN
 features opening with one notahl'
