half weeks engagement at The
Playhouse last night, and a holiday

time minslrclsy with its sweet songs
clever dancing and rollicksome skits.
There was no end Of laughs over the
antics and sayings Of the black-face

Wilmington tenor, who is a member
Of the minstrels. was given an ova-
ton when he sang.
The opening scene Is a rich SET
ting, "The Palace OF Enchanting
Music OF the Kings Court OF jolly
testers" The show abOunds In
pleasing ballads. sung by a collection
OF fine voices. The vocal selections
are well chosen, each being a ballad
OF human appeal.
Walter Sherwood's song, "'When
Say GOOdy-bye 10 YOU" was well re-
ceved lie also made a hit In THE
Village Graduates" Bobby Dwyer
was clever in his speclalles and Fred
Miller scored with an accentrlc dance

laughable
