MINSTREL SHOW MAKES HIT
Virginia Outfit Draws Big Crowd
Co1ored Band Was Excellent.

The Virginia minstrels have been and
gone; we've heard their band and seen
their show and watched their two yell
low ears pull out of the depot. Ger
tainly none will grudge them their sue
cess, for it was a success; they burst in
upon us at a time when all pockets were
being drained by Liberty Loan Bonds,
Red Cross contributions not to speak
of the increased price of groceries, and
they filled their big tent to capacity.
And that was enough we guess to re-
pay them handsomely for the antics they
performed to excuse themselves for TAX
ing our money. Very likely they had
their tent made big enough to hold a
sufficient crowd to make a performance
more than worth while. That Is the rea
son we are saying that their little ex-
cursion to our city was "a success, a
financial success.
We are prompted to say with all that
the colored boys were liberal and gen
erous. The best part of their show was
put ON in the open street without charge
and without obligation. The gentlemen
marched up our street Monday noon
with their best red coats on, stopped in
front of the Free Press office itself and
rendered the very best music they were
capable of; and it was good, the best
band music we have heard for nothing.
That trombone player with his triple
tonnging and his long slides was simply
splendid, the elarinets made one think
of Sousa's band, everything from the
tuba up to the piccolo was in the best
of trim and the conductor brandishing
his gold cornet up and down was GER
tainly genius. The company certainly
understood the principle of putting the
best foot forward. Who was there that
heard the band who did not say, "Now
If the show is half as good as the band
it will be worth going to''' In this
frame of mind the trusting citizens
flocked to the big tent and sat for two
solid hours trying to laugh at bum jokes
and to make sense out of an improvised
rigamarole that never had any sense
put into it in the first place. And some
of them were so determined to be anus.
ed that they stayed for an after show to
see "A man wrestle with a mule - Now
just one thing more, if the old reliable
minstrels ever come to Grangeville
again, we think they will do well to
have their wrestling match in the
street and their band in the tent.
