FIELDS MINSTRELS

The Knickerbocker Press, Albany,
n. Y, has the following about Fields
MINISTRIES, which appear at the Tenn
pie next Saturday night:
One might imagine oneself back in
the days of balmy minstrelsy from
the jubilant spirit of the capacity au-
dience that greeted Al. G. Fild's
Greater Minstrels in "War and Peace"
at Harmanus Bleecker hall last night.
From the time of the first of the
seven scenes and the two tableaux,
which comprises the show, there was
not dull or mononotous moment.
BETTING the spirit of the times, a
military touch is used in the opening,
which depicts the spirit of minstrelsy,
the south before the war, and a
scene in the trenches. Here is shown
the first glimpse of the costumes used
throughout the first part, military
suits in turquoise blue with gold, and
the minstrel men in the flame color
dress suits. Enthusiasm is aroused
at the scenic transformations that
follow, representing the morning of
the world, spring, summer, autumn,
harvest. Then the real minstrel time
begins, the company using the full
stage with the orchestra in the rear.
John Cartmell, as master of cere-
monies, is an impressive figure and
keeps the ball rolling in a compe-
tent way. There are plenty of fun
providers and the quality of the
voices for the various solo and en-
semble numbers throughout the entire
performance is worthy of praise.
Very few worn out jokes have
found their way into this minstrel
gathering. There is no doubt that
the endeavor to give the audience
something new and entertaining has
been most successfully achieved. Most
OF the new stories have to do with
military language and have departed
from time worn paths of the usual
foil.
AS a fun-maker. Billy Beard, who,
aside from his part in the ensemble,
entertains for several minutes, with
some songs and splendid monologue,
scored hit.
Jack Richards, who scored with
when You and Were Young, Mag
gie," and William Church, with his
song, "Let Me Sleep Until Ny Daddy
Comes Home" were among the chiel
applause getters of the first part
'Lasses White has a genuine dialect
and is the surprise of the perform
ance. There was not nearly enough
of his work. Charles Reinhart with
his yodle song has a good feature
John Healy, though a quiet worker,
is another funmaker The Oriental
