COBURN'S MINISTRIES
HERE ON OCTOBER Sd
Joe Coburn's Aggregation Of Enter.
talners Who VIII Show Here DC.
tober 8, Are Making Good
This Season.

The famous Joe Coburn Minstrels
will be among the first attractions at
the Washington Opera House for this
falls season Manager Russell has just
signed a contract for Friday, October
l3.
That this years show Is making
good is shown by the following from
the Wheeling CIV. va) Register:
Wheeling folk certainly like Minis
trel shows, and the better they are the
more they appreciate such amuse-
ments. There was plenty of apprecia-
ton shown by packed house at the
Court last night when ]. A. Coburn's
entertainers entertained for about
three hours.
There were many features on the
lengthy program, but one of the many
individual entertainers who received
long and loud applause was Nate Null
rol, local boy; born and reared in
South Wheeling, and who has made
hundreds of thousands laugh by his
songs and dancing stunts behind the
footlights in all sections of the coun-
try.
Good entertainers, a group of well
known singers, new costumes and the
general appearance of the stage made
up the splendid performance SNAP
Your Fingers" Alcoholic Blues,
"Tacken' EN- Down." "a Good Man is
Hard to Find" and Wonderful Moth
er of Mine" are few of the more pop
ular tunes sung, and the audience, in
high spirits, humming and swaying
with the singers.
Much credit is due to the cleverness
of Charley Gano, who is one of the
featured end men. Eddie Koran took
a hearty applause with his eccentric
dancing. Denton, as the female imper-
senator, deserved much favorable
comment.

Why Not Deport Them?

Action taken by the United States court in Seattle
thru the application of Naturalization Examiner John

But when the acid test came when America was at
