Grand Minstrel Show

Continued from page u
flowing draperies of white as ever
was seen. She was stately and won
derful. The audience and all the
players joined in singing the national
hymn, and the effect was both inspir-
ing and beautiful.
One of the biggest hits among the
speciality numbers was the "Chatta-
nooga" song by Werner Ebell and
Alcide Pinard, of Palisade, develop
ment of the recent Edgar Darby
juvenile minstrels. They were much
improved in the piece, and received
four recalls. Both boys evinced re-
markable talent and made a pro-
nounced hit.
The baritone horn solo of Mr..
Fairweather was very well rendered,
as were the vocal solos by Mr.. Won
Osthof and Mr.. Mutt, the Misses
Frank, Mr.. Mandel, Miss Neider-
reuther, Mr.. Carson, Mr.. Vosburg,
and Mr.. Clark. The "Rufus John
sons Harmony Band" chorus was also
one of the good things of the even
ing, as was also the effective piano
playing of Mr.. Dana, always very
very good.
The affair as a whole was veritable
outburst of rags" from the most up
to-date to the most classic, in solo,
chorus and dance. From the opening
chorus of the Mississippi Cabaret to
the plaintive "Curly Headed Baby"
and the Little Gray Home in the
West" and the sweetly pathetic Cant
20 heah me calm, Caroline? to the
truly inspiring strains of the closing
instrumental and vocal chorus, "Rufe
Johnson's Harmony Band" rag-time
rhythm, melody and general en-
thusiasm held complete sway over the
large gathering present.
In asserting the foregoing, one does
not allow to be omitted for moment
the interlocutor-e nd-men offerings of
mirth and repartee of the Major Nc
Clave-J. c. Vosburgh-J. H. Clark-D
A. Carson-G. W. Won Osthoff galaxy.
The bell-like tinkle of the little Alb
bott piano at the hands of Mr.. Dana
added admirably to the effect of the
whole. Behind, and dominating the
entire performance, was the able
irecting and clever planning and ar
ranging of Mrs. Fanny Bloodgood
Wilson.
An end man gem was the follow
ing, furnished by Mr.. Carson:
"a Negroes EYE one afternoon
Upon a woodpile lit;
He planned to come around that night,
And get a little bit.
Each night a bull dog sat beside
That woodpile guarding it;
The negro came at ten p. m.
And got a little BIT.
The evenings Notification was
opened by Charline Won Osthotf
stepping before the curtain and an
nouncing: eve submit for your de-
light a study here in black and white"
and kept up almost continuously for
two hours or more. The program
was divided into the usual minstrel
section with songs, choruses and
jokes; the alio, with specialties; and
