COBURN'S MINSTRE5IS REPENT
SUCCESS OF LAST YEAR

There may be larger and better
costumed minstrel aggregations than
j. A. Coburns. but none any better
have appeared here. There are but
fifteen performers in the troupe. but
every one of them works and works
hard all the time. and the results arc
more than satisfying. OF singers
there are four who will rank with any
in minstreldom-Ear Rowland, Les
ter I.ucasH. Price Jenkins and Ed.
Clinord--the last three being es-
peCially sweet warb1ers while in the
comedy end Charles Vermont and
Charlie Gano are hosts in themselves.
Just why Gano Is not with Neil
O'Brien or AL. Fields is hard to I'M
derstand. for he ranks with any
blackface comedian ever seen here.
Possibly he has an interest in the
show for he seems TO have written
all the sketches used and leads the
whole shebang. His skit on prepared
ness is well written and is a scream
from start to finish.
In the olio, good work Is done by
Harry Toledo, homeless contortion-
list; the Three Musical Gates, saxa-
phone and xyiophone players: Lynch
and Boyne, acrobats; and the Minis
trel Four.
II Mr. Coburn can enlarge his com
pany and keep 1t on the same high
plane he now has 1t. he should have
one. of the largest and best minstrel
shows on the road in the next year or
