Neil 0'Brien Has Real Minstrel Show At the Brandeis Thoso theater-goers who spurn min- strel shows on the theory that no min- strel show ever was assembled that aid not contain the same old line of jokes and gags that have been In constant use for a score of years, missed a bet if they neglected to see Neil O'Brien at the Brandels theater Saturday. For Mr. O'Brien has himself written a skit entitled “Darktown's Braves Fight- ing the Flames,” and it is a scream from start to finish and is notably minus the whiskered gags derricked from Joe Miller's joke book. Mr. O'Brien has often) been called America’'s leading minstrel and when he wrote the Darktown sketch he earned another title, that of Amer- fea’s leading writer of minstre] skits. Mr. O'Brien, of course, dominates the show. His Inimitable styles scores an instantaneous hit, but his many assist- ants are able, and add much to the worth of the performance. Kddle Mazler, Pete Detzel, Eddie Ross, Lasses White, | Charles Strong and a score of others easily demonstrate that they are lead- ers of minstrelsy.
