A. 0. H. Give Sue
cessfuI Minstrel
strel Show When All on Program
Prove Themselves Good.

An audience of nearly 700 filled
to capacity the regular seating &C.
commodations, extra chairs and stood
in the Ideal theater last Friday night
a week ago, when the second min
strel entertainment under the aus
| pices of Division No. 8, Ancient Or
der of Hibernians of South St. Paul,
was presented under the direction of
Will Fl. Kamman of st. Paul. Added
to the many tickets which members
OF the company and lodge sold pre-
vious to yesterday were more than
two hundred admissions at the box
Office.
Notwithstanding the fact that all
parts of the entertainment were taken
by young people from this city and
st. Paul many of whom never before
had appeared before an audience, the
program was a big success. All num-
bers given during the first part of the
program went big" in the vernacular
Of the stage. especially list of of.
ferings by quartette comprised of
William O'Grady, James Leahy, Will
Davidson and Virgil Peters. The clos
ing scene, patriotic setting, led by
Clarence knutson, end man, was an
other feature of the first part The
young women who sang during this
part of the program, Miss Margaret
Newburgh, Miss Ruth Hall and Miss
Marion MikkelsOn, all scored in their
offerings.
AS an interlocutor, "Tex" Condor
was at his best, and was responsible
for big share Of the company's sue
cessful appearance.
Tom Chittick, in "a Few Remarks
on Current Topics" had a corner on
the laughs in the second half of the
program. Tom, as stump speech
artist, was as good as any and lots
better than many. The Marty sisters
of St. Paul, as we'll as the pajama
chorus which they led, scored in their
pretty Offering. William Davidson, as
| sisted by five lassies of the farm, "put
over" an out-of-the-ordinary number.
A chorus of six couples led by Miss
Helen Forsythe, who sang, What Do
You Want to Make Those Eyes at Me
For?" presented antoher pretty fea-
ture.
Probably the biggest hit of the
dancing numbers of the second half
was that presented by Miss Mildred
Lundbeck, Miss Julia Barnes and Miss
Dorothy Morrow, all of St. Paul, who
presented Il shepherds dance The
dance, classic arrangement, was
gracefully executed. The entire set
was as pretty an offering as has ever
been seen here.
The opening number was by big
chorus led by Miss Anna Spilker who
sang Ladder of Roses" from Hip.
Hip, Hooray Art Berry and Des
kieron in a short dialogue followed.
The closing was by the entire com
pany in a medley of choruses which
previously had been sung.
