Those who took part in the Min- strel show last night need have no hesitancy in feeling proud of them- selves today, for they put on a per- formance that would have done credit to far more training and experience than the Bemidji boys have had. The show was good and gave ample proof that the city has much avail- able minstrel talent. - The first part of the performance e . R went with a snap and speed that took the audience by surprise so that laughter and applause was entirely spontaneous. The second part was made up of more serious numbers H which were appreciated fully as - much as the previous frolic. H Mlle. Hap-Hazzard, known during the day as “Happy” Anderson, was the hit of the evening. She was dressed in a hobble skirt of wonder- H ful and startling design and was ~& finished off with a hat, made, inci- dently, by a local milliner, which was all that could be desired to make a unique effect. Her band put the eficrts of the regular Bemidji band tc shame. S The Dark Town Fire Department i wis not the successful number that it was expected to be. When the i curtain fell on the first scene many of the audience left and did not see the finish of the act. If the boys will e pardon a suggestion, it was said by many last night that the effectiveness of the show would be doubled if the second act was shortened and made the first, while the first is played second leading to Mlle, Hap-Hazzard as the climax of the evening. Tom Symons tried to make a i supper engagement with Mlle. Hap- Hazzard but the young lady said she would prefer to meet him after the i performance tonight. The house which greeted the boys was close to capacity. The perform- ance will be repeated tonight and is worthy of a full attendance. Rush Hour in Indianapolis.
