1t opened with the regular minstrel
lineup; the interlocutor, J. f. Roddy.
and the two end men, John f Martin
and Harold ID. Rock. were excellent.
and cracked some very good lines.
The two end women. Mrs. Bertha Fen
ton aid Miss Vera Glass. were equally
entertaining. while Carmelino Matacia
and Joseph Droll filled out the black
face sextette most acceptably.
A lot of good songs and choruses
were sung. but special mention de-
serves to be made of MisssAlia Can't
lers and Miss Helen Wilson's vocal
numbers Both of these young ladies
recently had prominent parts in the
extravaganza "SingDad the Sailor"
given at the Circle Playhouse.
The second part comprised skit,
The Booty Cruisers twere they, too,
bound for Bimini?). which had been
embellished with numerous local hits
and topical features. and the musical
numbers of the second part were in
corporated in this act.
Joseph Droll had the role of Slew
Foot, the skipper of the Boozy
Cruisers craft. and made hit in his
part.
