Delight Audience
BY Ely MARTIN

Bright as Alamo sunshine
light as Alamo air, enjoyabl,
as Alamo scenery-such was the
amateur minstrel show givef
Thursday night at the Majesti,
theatre for the benefit of the
Rebekah lodge. No company Of
professional minstrels. not even
Dockstader's or Primrose :. could
have pleased the audience more
than the amateurs did. After
the show one enthusiastic lis.
tener was heard to exclaim
Say. wouldn't it be a joke if in
after years Alamogordo. now
famous the world over for it's
wonderful climate, should be
known to fame chiefly because
1t was once the home of a great
blackface artist? 1t seems TO
me that some of our young men
who intend to study law or enter
business life have missed their
calllng,' and in this he seemed
to express the sentiments of
many others.
From the time the curtain rose
until the last inspiring strains of
Dixie" fioated out on the night
air, there wasn't a dull moment
nor a single delay. The rapidity
with which one nun ber followed
another would have been a Gre
dit to professionals, indeed the
only thing which betokened a
company of amateurs was the
fact that the audience could look
beneath the burnt cork and see
the features of some we'll known
young person about town. and
this served only to increase the
enjoyment.
Guthrie Smith, as interlocu.
tor, disproved the assertion that
a good writer can't be a clever
speaker. He put the audience
IN a good humor with a witty /
opening speech in which he ad- |
nltted that he was much more
scared than they and would
gladly change places with any. I
'ne who desired to occupy the
'hrone, and then for two hours
here followed riot of fun and
ancy. There were solos, duets.
