Neil 0'Brien Has
Real Minstrel Show
At the Brandeis

Those theater-goers who spurn min
strel shows on the theory that no min
strel show ever was assembled that did
not contain the same old line of Jokes
and gags that have been in constant use
for score OF years. missed a bet II
they neglected to see Neil O'Brien at the
Brandeis theater Saturday.
For Mr.. o'Brien has himself written a
skit entitled "Darktown's Braves Fight
ing the Flames" and it is a scream from
start to finish and is notably minus
the whiskered gags derricked from Joe
Millers joke book. Mr.. OBrien has often
been called Americas leading minstrel
and when he wrote the Darktown sketch
he earned another title, that of Amer
ica's leading writer of minstrel skits.
Mr.. O'Brien, of course. dominates the
show. His inimitable styles scores an
instantaneous hit. but his many assist
ants are able, and add much to the worth
OF the performance. Eddie Mailer, Pete
Detzel, Eddie Ross, Lasses White,
Charles Strong and a score of others
easily demonstrate that they are lead
ers Of minstrelsy.
