Items in The Years Agone from,
November 18, 1910: The old- Reli-
able Guy Brothers Minstrels will
appear in Cardno's Hall this Fri-
day evening and will, no doubt,
draw the usual large crowd."
Guy Brothers Minstrels, as old-
timers will recall, were for many
years regular visitors to Seaforth,
appearing for one night in Cardno's
Hall, about the middle of Novem-
ber. They rated well up in the
minstrel world and kept their
shows at a high standard.
Promptly at 12 o'clock the day
of the show the doors of Cardno's
Hall opened and out came Guy
Brothers for their noon street par-
ade—every man faultlessly dress-
ed in tailored overcoat, shiny silk
hat, white gloves and with a white
carnation in his buttonhole. A
drum major with a shiny baton in
each hand led off up the middle
of Main Street, followed by a
bandsman with a large silver bass
horn up one side of street and
a trombone player up the other.
There were no cars—neither park-
ed or moving—to hinder the par-
ade, and most horses were home
for noon. Back "about half a block
followed two horn players and an-
other half block was the two-man
cornet section. Behind the band,
in file up each side, and equally
well spaced, marched the rest of
the company.
Then one cornet player raised
his instrument and lead off with a
short flourish which was repeated
successively by each instrument
ending with a rumble on the bass
horn about a block away. Then
another little flourish on, the cornet,
up went the drum major's batons
in two high glittering spins and
when they came down the whole
band was in action—fast and loud.
And how that band did play! Only
six men, but sounding like sixty.
And, above it all the clear notes of
a cornet, high and shrill, with a
compelling beat that carried mel-
ody and rhythm and time for the
whole parade. • The player march-
ed along with his horn in one hand,
the other hand in the pocket of his
overcoat, and with no apparent
effort climbing higher and higher
in the upper register of his instru-
ment.
Up to the Royal corner went the
parade, counter march and' back
to the front of Cardno's Hall where
the band formed into a circle for
a short concert.' An instrumental
solor or two, a brief overture and
then an operatic selection, ending
with "Orpheus" at double speed.
And then back into the Hall.
At the evening show the curtain
went up on the entire company in
evening dress singing the "open-
ing chorus. Then Mr. Interlocu-
tors, "Gentlemen, Be Seated", the
entrance of the endmen with song
and walk -around, male quartette
with "Old Black Joe"; Albert Guy
with "Last Rose of Summer"; the
bass with "Bells of the Sea" and
Harry Prince, the silver -throated
tenor with "Silver Threads Among
the Gold" (by special request);
then the closing chorus, "Dixie."
A second part followed with some
juggling, step dancing, a contor-
tionist, a musical act and a slack
wire artist. Then a short one -act
play featuring several characters,
brought the show to a close.
The Guy Brothers Minstrels
made their Last appearance in Sea -
forth in 1914. The street parade
came off with all the old-time
snap and the band played the few
numbers of their concert. Then
they raised their instruments for
another number, struck a chord
and held it—a brief pause, and they

A quiet but pretty wedding was

Mills 'united in marriage Thelma
Anne Dale, daughter of, Mr. and
Mrs. Arnold Dale, Princess Street,

mauve accessories and a corsage
of white carnations.
The bridesmaid was Miss Kathy

After the ceremony, the young

friends wilt) gathered to bestow
best wishes and present them with
many beautiful gifts. Also in at-

ern Ontario and the United States,

Applicant: "No, but I can take
orders, if that's what you mean."
broke into "Tipperary," soft and
sweet; a brass sextette with the
tone of an organ, in that old war-
time ballad. Then the concert was
over—and an era had ended.
