Minstrel show Coming

There is nothing so cheerful, or
an amusement which contains more
harmony or comedy. than an old
time negro m~instrelsy. It's not the
fact that it is a minstrel troupe
that makes it attractive, but it is
the orchestra, the singers, the clev-
err comedians, and the scenic effects
that make 1t worth while and en-
joyable. For a time there has been
a decided lack of good and enter
tanning minstrel performances, and
it has been left to Gus Hill and his
assistants to bring back the old
time happiness and harmony of the
southern negro.
George Wilson, principal comedi-
an with Gus Hills Minstrels, is the
only old-timer still in harness, but
the rest of the cast have adopted
his cleverness and tricks to a re-
markable degree and at the Males
tic on Wednesday. August 4, they
will demonstrate how an old-time
blackface comedian, good singing,
and the sympathetic music of the
Mason-Dixon line can still keep the
good world smiling.
