COLONIAL TINES
AT RED MEMS FAIR
Shown in Entertainment Given by
Braves--Many Fine Things Shown
in Booths.

Colonial times or early America was
displayed in true form last evening in
the Rowland hall when some thirty men
garbed in the costumes OF Red Men,
with their feathery headgear and gaGdy
paint, together with eight of the darker
colored tribe came together for what
may rightly be called the last letter in
minstrelsy. The minstrel show was
chosen as starter in the way of enter
tainment and il warrants second APP
pearance, and those who could not wit
ness last evenings performance will have
an opportunity tonight. The program
remains practically the same aside from
the closing chorus. Last evening was
the opening night OF the fair conducted
| by the members OF lroquois tribe, No. 10,
! l. q. r. NJ. and Daughters of Pocahon
tas. That they will be successful need
not be doubted for the Red Men have at
other times showed they could come
back. With a chorus OF voices which
would be hard to duplicate in or out of .
the city and with end men that were al
ways soaring up laugh the show was
one of pleasing merits. Due to large
part, the success falls to w. II. Goodfel-
ip"b WIZ ihh tlit 1Olipdul uHhtI LIdlu-
ing. With his years of experience he
was able to round into good form the
participants OF this same company.
From the start it never lacked the spice
and the entire program went off without
Il hesitation.
A well arranged opening chorus proved |
a good starter and the fun was on. Those |
sons of Ethiopia just made people laugh |
whether they were in such a mood or
not Their local hits and cross fires pro- |
duced much merriment The soloists |
were well repaid for their efforts for |
