ARE FAVORITES
Entertainers Often Interrupt

Fields Greater Minstrels. with one of
the best programs ever prepared for
that organization of popular enter
tainers, were greeaed last night by a
crowded house, and frequently, dur
ing some of their song and comedy
tainers, were greeted last night by a
plause. The patriotic and military
effects on the program also met with
the hearty approval of the audience.
The minstrels are to be congratu-
lated on the effective and realistic pa
triotic opening and close of the enter
tainment. The first scene is a flag
raising, followed by old war songs by
the uniformed and minstrel chorus
with orcb bestra accompaniment. The
first part of the musical offerings in
among them. Just AS Your Mother
Was" Somewhere in France Is the
Lily" and STARS of Love-" the last
two by Charles Reinhart; "Good-By
Little Girl, Good-By," Jack Richards,
and two fine comedy songs, IF You
My Tree" by Lasses White. and
Somebody Done Me Wrong" by Billy
Beard. Both comedy numbers were
enjoyed so much by the audience that
half dozen encoreS were calleu. Inc
solo and chorus songs are followed
by quartet numbers by Charles Rein
hart, Jack Richards, William Church
and Harry Frillman.
The second part of the program
after the Battle" followed by n
Christmas entertainment. Santa
Claus At Home" This is an odd holi-
day addition to the program that is
very enjoyable. because of some of the
fine dance numbers.
Billy Beard takes a leading part
with some new and old Jokes, all OF

Does Not Like Fighting

Does Not Like Fighting
Thorpe's own explanation of h
aversion of professional fighting is :
combination of several reasons, on,'
of which is that he doesn't like the
game.
Personal combat is a thing I try
to avoid" said Jim two or three years
ago. 'I might lose my head and go
too far If 1 was hurt. And then l
don't believe my wrists would stand
that kind of work. I would be afraid
of breaking them if I ever hit a solid
object with all my strength"
Thorpe has a big hand and a finely
muscled arm, but his wrists are much
thinner than those of the average
fighter or wrestler.
Big Jim could undoubtedly hand out
many knockouts, but the quality of
his resistance to punishment would
depend on the vulnerability of his
Jaw.

cd the spirit of D'Artagnan through
parental influence, his mother having
been an ardent reader Of Dumas. The
self-reliance of the modern woman,
as compared with her sister in past
generations, is strikingly shown, for
in many cases the chivalry of the
modern D'Artagnan is mistaken, and
his gallant attempts to assist ladies
in distress lead to rebukes from the
independent maidens who are on the
alert to squelch flirtatious pests.
