FULL HOUSE CREETS [
MINSTREL TROUPE
Hoopel's ENIa Id-GoIden Hill Min
>trels Given RouSinS Reception at
Grand Opera House

The seating capacity of the Grand
Opera House was taxed to its ut
most last night when the resi-
dents of HoOper's Island and Golden
Hill presented one of the most at
uractiye amateur performances ever
given on the LEGAL stage. To say
hat the minstrel was entertaining
only touches upon the merits of the
affair: it was splendidly arranged,
NIGEL! acted. and the patriotic fea-
lures made it even more interesting.
Those in the cast deserve a great
deal Of credit for presenting such a
performance under such unfaVorable
conditions. 1t is no easy matter to
take a troupe Of performers from
one place to another, over miles of
bad roads, when the heavy SHOWS
are thaWing. But HoOper's Island
and Golden Hill felt that the audi
ence would realize the difficulties
under which they labored, and they
knew that the Red Cross Society
would ppaciatc their efforts. Best
OF all. they accomplished their goal,
the proceeds OF the entertainment
making them feel fully repaid for
lheir trouble. As yet it is impossi-
Ole 10 state jus, how much the net
receipts We're, but an announcement
viii be made iii short time. The
proceeds will be divided between the
Red Cross Society of Hoopers Island
and Golden Hill, and the Cambridge
Branch.
