woMANs CLUB MINSTREL GOOD

The Stanford people have been
placed under deeper obligations to
the Woman's Club for giving them n
splendid minstrel performance Tues
day night. There wasn't a member Of
the Club in the performance, but
that organization was back of IL,
which meant beyond doubt that the
entertainment would be a meritorious
one. The curtain raised on Joseph
Ballou. grandson Of the grand old
preacher by that name. making n
talk on what We Have at Our
House" IL was very clever effort
and the young man was literally APP
plauded. Miss Mary Bailey, who al
ways pleases her hearers, gave vo-
cal number with great credit, and
was followed by Miss Jean Paxton,
who brought the house down" with
her Woman's Rights talk. Her Gus
tourne was as ludicrous as her re-
marks were amusing Miss Belle Rus
Nell favored the audience With n vocal
solo which was much enjoyed These
numbers over, the minstrel part OF
the "show" began in earnest and II
was nearly II o'clock before the boys
got through with their jokes and
their fun. The following well-known
fun makers took part in the perfor-
nance, with Judge John n. Menefee
as interlocutor: Albert Philips, Maui
rice Cottengim. Sam Hill, Pat Tan
ner. Maurice Tucker, Will Wager,
John woner, Harry Carter. Ed Bra
dy Carl Carter. "Puny' Brown. How
ard Newland. Ed Tanner, Ed Ballard,
Coe Moser, and Will Grimes.
Where all did SO well il is invidi-
Gus to partieularize, but suffice it to
say that the entertainment was worth
the price Of admission and the only
surprise is that the house was not
packed 20 standing room only. The
boys were all blscked and looked the
part Of professionals and each and
all Of them did creditable work.
Judge Menefec made dignihed in
terlocutor and played the role like a
veteran Of the stage. The jokes and
songs were for the most part fresh
and the "take-offs' on many Of our
people evoked much laughter. The
Woman's Club is about $75 better
of by having given the minstrel,
while those who attended feel better
by having been present.
Miss Frances Embry was accom-
PIANIST for the ladies who sang and
Mrs. T. J. Hill. Jr.. for the black
faced artists and both did their work
well The stage was prettily decorat-
ed with United States flags.

WOMAN'S CLUB NOTES

The members of the WOman's
Club wish to express their thanks
and appreciation to all who so kindly
assisted in the minstrel. The interest
