THE MINSTREL SNOW
Splendid Success In every Particular.
Receipts over $208.00
:Friday and Saturday evenings, May
24 and 23, the Town Hall, Bruseels,
;vas filled to the doors on the occasion
of the presentation of the Ladies'
Minstrel Show, in which about 40
people took part. It was a great suc-
cess, everybody filling their post in A
1 manner, and it is safe to say a jollier
crowd, both on the platform and com-
posing the audience, seldom assembles,
Of course it was a Minstrel Show and
the program was cut after the Ethiop-
ian pattern in song, story, joke, cake
walk and steps. Many of the cos-
tumes worn by the ebony artists were
not fashioned in Paris but represented
"down South" in their picturesque-
ness, while the antics of the end ladies
could not be described, except by
moving picture film. Program was
as follows :—Opening chorus, "Old
Black Joe" ; introductory remarks by
the Interlocutress ; Stump speech,
Miss Flo. Bnchanau ; solo and chords,
"Are you from Dixie ?" Mrs. de la
Penotiere ; Medley, "Old Kentucky
Hnme," "Dixie," "Swanee River" and
"Under Southern skies";Song and
dance, "Coon Dolly," Jean Ferguson
and Wilma Galbraith ; Highland
Fling, Jae. Ballantyne ; solo and
chorus, "I want to be in Dixie," Mar-
jory Campbell ; eeading, "'The Echo,"

Quartette, "Dark Diana," Misses
Jessie Menzies, Isabel Strachan, Nellie
Fox and Vinie Bowman ; solo, "Ken-
tucky Horne," hiss Marie Crump ;

Vandns Blake ; solo, "Choo, choo,
shoo," Miss Grace Walker ; duet,
"You cant play in thy yard" Marjory
Hoover and Lorene Blake ; song and
chorus, "My Honey Lou," Mies Rath
Sinclair ; dance, end ladies t solo, Miss
Isabel Strachan ; monologue, "Mam-
my Jennie's hall of fame," Miss Vera
Hoover ; take nff duet, Misses Florence
Buchanan and Millie Grewar ; cake

V. Bowman ; chorus, "Coon Hollow
Capers ; mouth organ selections,

and chorus, by Misses L. Dunford,
Hazel Stewart, Grace Walker and
Isabel Strachan ; chorus, "Belgium

National Anthem. Interest never
lagged ftotn the first to the last and
the progran went. through without
hitch or any kind. Ciphering out who
the various dtankies were was an in-
teresting puzzle, beyond solution to
some,
Encores cane in thick and fast and
as a consequence the program grew in
length and the crowd had heaps of
