The orth Pallas Minstrel Hare rome: Ms .thorn lmtztg Herz fomef the thou' boar, Pz1ff-pzf-7f-p14j-l111zjf- pzzjfng along. HE show boat had come, and with the entire personnel of thc seventh annual,North Dallas minstrel on board it proved to be one of the most interesting visits the show boat had ever paid us. The performance was a success from the rolling back of the curtain in the first act to reveal the chorus of black-faced singers to the dying down of the last echo of applause at the ending of the fifth act. The first act, Ye Olde Tyme Minstrelsf' was one continuous laugh from start to finish. With Bud Young, George McClure, Harvie Pool, and C. Smith as end men it could be nothing else. The audience lost all its dignity and gave itself up to enjoy the jokes and stories that the four comedians, led on by Charles Long as interlocutor, pulled off. Music was furnished by Mat Allender, Roger Harris, George Jacobie, Ross Lindsay, and Robert Stafford as soloists, and a chorus of about thirty boys. Marie Braselton was accompanist. Mr. E. D. Walker was again director, and it is our opinion that he should go into the business of producing stage shows if all would be as successful as this one was. The first act had set the standard for good entertainment and the other four acts lived up to this standard. The second act, unusual in nature, was a performance by a group of acrobats headed by Edwin Nesbitt. The third act by the Varsity Gang Orchestra showed ust what an A-I orchestra should be. The fourth act was put on by a group of banjo pickers. The musicians showed that they could also pick up a little humor along with their music. The fifth act pictured a Broadway cabaret scene with ladies and gentlemen in evening dresses and tuxedos, dances by beautiful young ladies, and music by an orchestra. The dancers were Misses Mary McClellan and Betty Cooke. At the end of the fifth act the results of the beauty and popularity contests were an- nounced. This brought to an end the best minstrel North Dallas has ever put on.
