THE BEST ENTERTAINERS

direction of their experienced man

to present their eleventh annual per-
Torrance which will be given at the
New Daytona theatre on the night of
Friday. December II, at $50 o'clock.
Those who have been watching the
rehearsals declare that the coming
performance will by far surpass any
thing ever attempted here in the way
of minstrelsy and the setting for the
opening is beyond doubt the most
elaborate that has ever been staged
in the New Daytona theatre, This
opening setting was painted by Karl
Van Kost, the scenic artist, late of
New York, who is an artist in his
line. and this setting is the last word
Tor artistic beauty.
The coon songs and ballads which
VIII be sung by the Gem City min
strels have been procured from the
great metropolis; everything new
and up-to-the-minute.
Speaking of the black-face comedi
ans, the Gem City Ministries have
without doubt some of the best tai
ent in or out of the professional bust
ness and Scheffel Wright, the we'll
known travelling man, who has been
playing with the Gem City Ministries
since they were first organized,
recognized throughout the state as the
cleverest black-face in amateur cir
cles. To hear him sing reminds you
OF the old plantation days. Semen
Wright, Jr.. will also take part.
AL. J. Malby, a local real estate
man, has the distinction of playins
opposite Mr.. Wright, and has played
with the Gem City minstrels in a mum
Der of seasons He also is clever
black-face and keeps things lively a
MS end of the line. MIR. Malby is al
imitator of that famous colored co
median, Bert Williams, of the Zles
Held Follies, and as a comedian he i
hard to beat.
