The Minstrel Show
Promptly at $50 the curtains on
the stage parted and revealed as
wonderful a setting as ever Pharaoh
cast his eyes upon. The scenes for
this attraction were made real under
the artistic efforts Of Ralph H. Brown
and portrayed the court yard OF a
summer palace somewhere in the
Orient Miss Ruth Henderson, az
Miss Interlocutor' captured the
audience at once, wearing a stunning
blue silk harem costume, yelled with
scarlet tunic. She was right on ia
her job all the time, handling the
jokes and presiding over the arrange
ment of the musical numbers.
The opening overture was a ring
tail pealer' introducing the soloists
and chorus THE Last Waltz Had
With YOU" sung by Miss Madore

charmingly given. MY Gee Gee

cellent. her voice being very sweet
and pleasing.
One of the hits of the show was
the manner in which Miss Lacombe
presented "Palesteena." She was en-
cored number of times. Her dane
ing was of the true carxey variety,
catching the crowd at once. Miss
Irene Goodrich, who is attending
Sargent school in Boston, came next
with an original dance, THE Vamp"
and it went over big. She was at
tired in a rose and gold costume
and she danced with unusual grace.
At the close she was called back by
the audience, and she was presented
with a beautiful basket Of roses.
Miss Goodrich plans to attend a
dramatic school in New York in
October and it certainly seems that
in this line of work she will rise
rapidly for she has the happy facul-
ty of making audiences enthusiastic.
Miss Robinson singing my Home
Town is One Horse Town" was an
other direct hit and the number re-
flected much credit upon the singer.
Miss Gray with the ballard "Careses''
proved exceptionally good. Hot
Tamalae Mollie" sung in character
istic natural manner by Miss Gui-
mond, was a dandy and brought
down the house. This was followed
by the novelty number entitled THE
Laughing Vamp" which included six
young ladies, the Misses Madore
Cram, Boyd, Hopkins, Heath and
Berran. 1t wSs novelty in fact and
proved somewhat of a surprise.
The program closed with a grand
finale THE Last Part of Every
Party" The numbers were well
rendered and the singing by the
chorus was excellent, The jokes of
the end men were of the right sort,
snappy and full of pep. but leaving
good taste in the mouth. Charles
p. Kinsman staged and directed the
performance with r. J. Bolger as
musical director. The orchestra was
contributed by the Augustus Must
clans Union and was made up of
some of the best of local talent.
