MILO MIVSTRELS
AT GRAND TODAY

A minstrel show Is always min
strel show but who is there who
can't enjoy circus or a minstrel. In
the coming of Milo's Gall white) Min
strels to the Grand today, the spec
tator will be assured of witnessing an
up-to- the minute minstrel perform
ance which brims over with incessant
mirth and melody amid novel scenic
settings and dazzling electrical ef-
fects.
The cast is headed by Maxine Milo,
who is without a conscience, when it
comes to playing a saxophone. She
bosses and tosses her instrument
around in a most disrespectful and
successful manner, and makes a great
hit with her audiences.
The company also presents in its
cast of capable artists, the Bern
hardt of jazz, Miss Helen. Lewis of
radio fame, whose singing of current
jazzeries will be found to be the
height of real art.
If you used to like minstrels you'll
like these, and if you belong to the
younger generation, you'll enjoy MAX
ing their acquaintance at the Grand
theatre today.
