tage, being in good voice and spirits,
which means everything to an entertatn-
err of his ability. He sang four songs that
were new, but the best WAS the parody
on the talking movies, a rtckety phono-
graph being used to help out. Cleo May
field and James Billings ably assisted
Mr.. Lean in his different songs and
dances. A pretentious sketch. entitled

shared the honors of the evening with
Mr. Lean. Miss Roberts and Charles

Belasco.

With melodies, both sicv and old. and
with much humor. to which the same de-
scription might be applied, Primrose and
Dockstaders Minstrels afforded many
laughs and won warm reception at the
Belasco Theater. Many Of the old min
strel songs were heard again and the
audience seemed to be partial to the
old-time melodies that are rarely heard
now except when the Primrose and Dock
stader organisation makes its annual
visit.
1t is a typical minstrel show. The en-
tertainment opens with the semi-circle,
the orchestra on the top row. the inter-
locutor, the soloists and the end men IN
their usual places. Harry F. Sievers has
an excellent stage presence for the in
terlocutor and his easy informally was re-
sponsible for much OF his effectiveness.
Encores were demanded for every one of
the solo numbers, which included when
an Old School Boy Meets an Old School
by Reginald Merville: Goodbye Sum-
mer, SO Long Fall, Hello, Wintertime,'
by Harry J. Webster. and the Miserere,,
from I'll Trovat0re," by Raymond
wylie. Mr.. Wyiie has a voice of unu-
sual range. The end men. Lew Docksta.
der, George Primrose, Happy jack
Lambert and Tom Brown, furnished
many laughs between the OaifaOS.
The chief features of the olio were the
monologue of Lew Dockstader, the dance
of George Primrose to the tune of Ten
nessee Moon" the saxophone sextet, into
whose playing Tom Brown fnterpolated
much hunor, and the singing of many
old-tme southern melodies and soldier
airs by the chorus. Mr.. Dockstader kept
his audience in a roar of laughter with
his story of the troubles of Uncle
George to which he added some local
hits at the expense of the. new excise
law and the income tax. Mr.. Primrose
frankly acknowledged that he Is growing
older when, In bowling for an encore, he
asked attention to some two-year-olds
who have never started" Mr.. Primrose
has the old grace in dancing that estab-
lished him as a minstrel man. His pro-
teges, Johnny Foley and Johnny Murphy,
showed rich capabilities in shuttle and
dog dancing.
The chorus, while not large, is well
trained and its harmonies were warmly
applauded.

Beautiful Reproduction
of Genuine Dresden
China.

Genuine Dresden China with
its. distinctive colorings and the
highly ornamental decorations has
been most difficult to reproduce.
That this seems to have been
ideally accomplished is at once
apparent in the new line which
we have just received. So nearly
does it approach the genuine that
it is not easy to mark wherein it
differs. Not only in all its beauty
of decoration, but the open work
peculiar to this ware has been
successfully attained. We are
pleased to invite attention to the
complete display which we now
make.
Including:
Fruit Dishes, Fruit Bowls,
Salad Bowls, Olive Dishes,
Handled Bonbon Dishes,
Sugar and Cream Sets,
Chocolate Sets,

A decided advantage to the pur-
chaser is that the prices are prac-
'tieally Il less than the genuine
