that the veterans will on January q
present a minstrel entertainment at
Augusta City Hall. which will be
original in it's conception and set

In combination with comedy and
swift repartee and cross fire, such
has never before been presented in
this section.

previously scored triumphs on the
amateur stage will be seen in action
