and none who were fotunate enc

"a Night in Dixie" The circle I'M
der the guidance of F. e. Richard
son. conversationalist. put on an act
that would do credit to professionals.
The opening chorus, consisting of q
medly of songs, both old and new.
vas very good. The solos by Barker,
Breitenstein. Fleischli, Cartwright,
Smith. Hunt and Clarke were all re-
ceived with great enthusiasm and all
were called back to repeat. Clarke
and Barker the premier comedians
lived up to the name and they kept
the crowd In laughter throughout
the entire act. Pacheco's violin solo
was q real treat in a musical
line and he responded to the encores
in real style. Without hesitation
much credit is bestowed upon Gus,
he Is certainly 4 comedian to say
nothing of his singing.
The second scene Of act one, a
street Scene" by the Parco Quar-
tette consisting Of Arnott. Cartwright
~Breitenstein and Hunt was very
good. These four rendered some
real harmony and their selections

sions during the various songs was
exceptionally good and portrayed the
feeling expressed by them.

I'D Tho Throne OF Justice" In act
two was we'll carried out and depict
cd the real atmosphere OF a true
southern colored court. Each actor
and actress carried their parts we'll.
In this act the Judge did his part

member that Judge Gibbs. the real
judge. will not be quite 70 lenient
in his decisions. Tho part OF Hard

kell was extremely we'll done.
Scene two in the same act street
Scene" Goofy Guys-"Some Foolish
ness" by Barker and Miller was moth
ing short OF professional in character
and these two kept the whole house
In an uproar from start to finish. It
was the best act OF the evening. A
great deal OF credit must be given
to these two for the way in which
they presented tho act. Certainly Il

very suitable to the whole show in
every respect.
Mrs. Richardson and C. d. Clarke.

character.
Act three 1.-THE Deacon En~tertains''
