MINISTRIES SCORE TRIUMPH;
 RECORD CROWD ENJOYS SHOW

With every seat in the Coliseum occupied chairs filling the aisle and men standing at the entrance, local talent put over a minstrel snow on Saturday night in a manner that was highly pleasig to the large audience and gratifying to the com mittee which had the affair in charge. It was a riot from start to finish and the final strains of the closing chorus found the crowd reluctant to leave their seats. The local hits were good and went over with a bang, and there were lot of them, fresh-made for the occasion. And there were many splendid mu- sical numbers, solos, duets and choruses, all of which were en- thusiastically received. The program also included a step dance and the show was brought to a close with a one-act skit entitled "A Crooked Man and His Crooked Wife" very creditably presented under the dir ection of F. J. Date, who also ap- peared in the cast, assisted by Mrs. R. C. Southworth and Frank Teuful. ! The minstrel setting took the form Of the regulation half circle, with all of the members of the com pany in black face and the costumes of the end men represented the last work in dark town attire. The circle also included two lady solo, ists, Miss Catherine McMahon and Mrs Colwick the latter having come in from Healy to help out with the musical end of the program. There was third lady minstrel n the company but it developed during the evening that she was Len Hea- cock. very cleverly arrayed in fem mine attire.
 One of the pleasing features of the show was the rapid fire manner in which the program was carried out. There were no tiresome delays and no confusion, the entire show nov ing with a smoothness that bespoke good management and experience on the part of those in charge.
 Music for the show was provided by an orchestra of six pieces, the musicians being Mrs. W. A. Coghill, piano; MT. and Mrs. F. o. Robinson; violins; Lloyd White, banjo; Ed C. Rau trombone; B. W. Miller, cornet.
 Captain C. C. Jones, who was delegated by the Pioneers to act as director and general manager of the minstrels, and to whom much credit is due for the pleasing re- suits achieved, appeared as inter- locutor, and his end men, all of whom gave generously of their time and talent, were John J. Rest ly. Franklin J. Rogers, Charles Car roll, Vincent P. Rogers, George Markle and Ralph Norris. Others who appeared in the circle and in special numbers were Miss Catherine CcMahon, Mrs Colwick, Len Hea- cock, A. B. Phillips, Dr. J. R. Bowen Billy Ford William Jerome. Joe Fischer W. 4. Coghill, Dominic Grilli Lloyd White and Walter Czubay, The program follows:
