CORURN'S MINSTREL
PROVES PLEASING
"Shm" Vermonth Furnishes Com
edy; Splendid Corps of Balladists
Is Presented

Montgomery, Ala, Advertiser)
"Slim" Vermont, versatile blackfac-
ed comedian and Joe McAnalan led a
corps of high class monstrel perform
ers-when J. A. Coburn's Ministries
appeared for it's annual engagement
Monday.
In quality, Coburns' show ranks
with the best minstrel productions
seen here this year and while the
scenery is less elaborate there is gen.
uine flavor of real old time minstrelsy
which is pleasing and entertaining.
The production is mingling of the
old fashioned minstrel first par.
with entertaining vaudeville numbers
and comedy sketches to follow. 1t is
patterned after the original Coburn
show. There is much to commend it
aside from the comedy produced by
Vermont Nate Mulroy, Hank White
there is presented some six or eight of
the very best vocalists and ballad
singers offered at TIL Grand in sew
eral seasons.
Joe McAnalan the pleasing and fas-
cinating Irish Tenor, Carl Minch, F.
NJ Crooks, Homer FeatherngiH and
Edward c. Clifford were literally ap-
plauded by the small but appreciative
audiences in their pleasing vocal Sc
lections.
The entire comedy of the show ga
theirs around "Slim' Vermont who
proves to the occasion of providing
sufficient entertainment to place him
in the first ranks of minstrelsy AS
sisted by Nate Mulroy in sketch
Sitting On The Outside Looking On
The Outside" he draws many good
hearty laughs from the audience and
again proves riot of fun in the clos
ing sketch.
The pleasing melody of the company
asserts itself in the opening part but
more particularly in Joe McAnalan's
sketch "The Tourists" where harmony
abounds a plenty and the efforts of
Coburn to surround himself with a
band of splendid vocalists is proven
altogether successful.
Frances Shira in toe dance in the
opening captivates the audience and
proves equal to the difficult task of
female impersonation. DeVara and De
Carlo add to the vaudeville features
with a comedy bar sketch.
Altogether, Coburn's Ministries sur
passed last years efforts and proved
equally as entertaining in distinc-
tive and individual way as any min
strel show presented in Montgomery
in several years.
The closing sketch based on the
popular King Tut idea was generally
pronounced a cleaner piece of enter
tainment and better staged than any
similar sketch presented here this sea-
son.
The Coburn show was generally
complimented last night many of
those attending the night performance
pronouncing it the best minstrel pro-
duction so far presented in Mont
gomery this season.
Coburn's Minstrels will appear at
the Grand Theatre in Fitzgerald on
Wednesday night, December 18th.
Seats are now on sale at the National
Drug Store.
