AL 8. Fields Greater Minstrel
opened a weeks engagement
Sunday night at the Crescent
Theater. a packed house greeting
this popular aggregation of en-
tertainers. There is a wealth Of
brand new stuff in the 1J14 pro-
duction, and the audience was
treated to a splendid entertain
ment. The opening is a fine
example of scenic display, and
the windup the show affords the
audience a glimpse Of the Pana-
ma canal with ships steaming
through it.
Naturally the lend men, are
the ones who contribute most to
the general success of a minstrel
show, even in these days Of
mons ter stage effects and electrl-
cal display. The Fields min
strels number four real black
face comedians in their ranks,
and they kept the big Crescent
audience laughing continually
SUNDAY night.
Bert Swor end Joe Coffman
reached their audience in fine
style, and before they had been
on the stage three minutes their
gags were convulsing the house.
Swor is seen at his best as the
hotel porter, and all of his jokes
are of recent conception. He
has a good understanding of tt e
negro, and his dialect is accept
able in a city where the darby
is no stranger. Coffman follows
him closely all through the show,
and the two are irresistible when
working together.
One of the best features on the
program, and one that receives
much applause. is the dancing
novelty act of Denny O'Neil and
Charley Market. Thew inter
pref the modern dance" in such
a ludicrously funny manner as to
bring down the house. Their
rendition of the hesitation waltz,
with variations, is especially
clever. ''Minna Ha Ha," an In
dian burlesque. with scenes laid
in the far west, is we'll presented,
and contains many good laughs.
The efforts of the moving picture
operators to snap views Of In

extreme. Another skit. Land

Vera Cruz.-A big parade of resi-
dents Of the City of Mexico to show
disapproval of Huerta's attitude to sarJ
Americans and to show the friendli.
ness of the paraders toward citizens
OF the United States was held in the
City OF Mexico Saturday, according to
refugees from the Mexican capital.
The fact that Huerta did not pre-.
vent the paraders is taken as an ir.
dication of his weakness.
The refugees said that rebel SYM.
pathizers in the capital organized tn,
parade to counteract the anti.Ameri
