Dockstader had a minstrel in his show who made up into as lovely and fascinating a woman as ever wore a hobble skirt. Attired in a Paris gown. cut as low as the mode per mitted, and then some. this pseudo la dy took the boards to strut and warble in truly effecting style. Her singing was passably similar to that of a genuine female. except that an occasional catch in the throat gave suggestion of a deep bass voice, slightly hoarse. but unmistakahly masculine. which had been forced and inveigled into taking the quality and timbre of a lyric soprano. This strange and uneXplainable quality was most apparent in the higher register. when, throwing her head back triurl lphantly, and opening her mouth to an astonishing length she would take a high C, only to have catch in the middle of the note that annihilated the illusion in a flash, and set the audience in a roar.
 Among minstrel shows Lew Dock stader's takes first rank, and the reason underlying the repu-ation of the company is MT Dockstader's own knowledge of the mechanism of the stage. and the arrangement and se- lection of his singers. No expense has been spared to keep the produc- ton up to it's old high standard, and the same company will appear here tonight that appears in the leading fhcaterS of the coast cities
