THEATERS
"SUGARFOOT" GAFFNEY. EFT AIS.
BY Marchnont.

Excellent solo and chorus singing
spirited dancing and the individual
contributions of 'Sugarfoot' Gaffney
and Bert Swor proved strong features
of the Neil OBrien Ministries, which
played at the Strand for matinee and
evening performances yesterday. The
first minstrel company 10 appear at
the Strand in some months, O Brien's
troupe drew large audiences.
The production comes to Richmond
rather the worse for wear, due prob
ably to its long tour. Costumes, sadly
in need of pressing. scenery showing
marks of age. and jokes of somewhat
ancient vintage, nevertheless welcom-
ed as old friends. detracted to some
extent from the earnest efforts of the
company.
Mr.. O'Brien announces that prepa-
rations arc now in progress for next
seasons productions. One is inclined
to suggest brighter costuming. newer
jokes, more ingenuity in the sketches,
but, by all means. a retention of the
present personnel OF the company.
Messrs. Gaffney and Swor, prime
faSori:es here. drew out many bursts
Of applause, the former for his novel
dancing, the latter for his entertain
ing curtain talk. Some of Swor's sug-
gestions for the remodeiing of a man,
as to the location of eyes, mouth and
the bending of his knees. are worth
consideration, especially as he pre-
scented Them
The Potato Peeler" sketch was not
up to O'Brien's usual standard: the
League of Explanations was. how
ever, a rather ingenious bit OF humor.
With the exception OF the musical
features. O'Brien has not brought as
good a production as in previous
years.
