"When You and I Were Young"

The Al G. Fields Ministries are rec.
ognized by the public as a national In
st1tution, and the people at large ex.
hibit personal interest in the various
celebrations this organization conducts
in honor of it's annual successes and
different anniversaries. Accounts 81
these are given space in newspapers
all over the country, and prominent
men in all walks of life invariably
send fluctuations to the distinguished
minstrel producer, AL G. Field.
! The present generation will get al
idea of the long period over which the
Al G. Field minstrels have been SUI
preme by the nature of a banquet,
which the organization will celebrate
in the east, this winter. The toasts
will be all attuned to the theme when
You and Were Young" and the
guests Of honor will be those who were
members of the company when Mr..
Field first organized 1t twenty-eiglt
years ago, counting from October +,
1914. The banquet has been postponed
from the anniversary date itself,
October 6, because at that time the
company will be on it's tour in the
south, and most Of the original men,
bers live in the east, where they re-
tired after long careers on the stage.
The company will, however, be in the
east some time near the holidays and
then Mr.. Field plans to gather about
him those who were with him when
the Al G. Field minstrel performance
was first submitted to the public.
There were fourteen other min
strel organizations, popular and pros
porous, in existence at that time, bu:
not one of them survives today. Min

The reason that weighs most heavily
is that he was 90 have received a
