FIELDS MINSTRELS--
DUvAL TO-DAY

There were several hundred dis
appointed people in Jacksonville last
night and it was all on account OF
AL G. Fields. AL has been coming
to Jacksonville for more than twenty
years and every year he brings a
better show and more people want
to see it--therefore, and because OF
which, some folks have to be disap-
pointed. The Duval theatre is big
enough for ordinary attractions
too big, apparently for good many
Of the shows that come along during
a season-but it is generally too
small to accommodate Fields crowd.
In the good old times (not so many
years ago at that, before people got
SO careful about fires and germs and
such foolishness), it was possible to
pack in the minstrel patrons, s. r.
o. solid, standing up and leaning a.
gainst-but nowl Well, the capa-
city and then "sorry but you'll have
to come tomorrow"
So there are a few hundred folks
with money and good intentions who
did not applaud and laugh and en-
icy themselves last night. In fact
they were gloomy enough and could
MT say a good word for Fields or his
show. They didn't get a look in.
And then again there wece about
sixteen or seventeen hundred people,
men. women and children, inside the
Duval when the curtain went up, and
they all sat and felt glad for about
three hours. AL Fields has been in
this line of business for neary thirty
wears. and while he doesn't look a
day over forty he claims to have
been more than five years old when
he started in the game. He has one
of the best shows ever carried by
minstrel organization and said lass
night in his dressing room that his
friends were still coming out to see
the show and forget the war, and in
.goodly numbers right along the line.
