Where else but in San Francisco—with its memo- ries of Billy Emerson, Charlie Reed, Carroll Johnson and a host of valuable others—is the minstrel show so well known? We have watched it from the cradle to the grave; seen it thrive in the early days 'of genius unadorned and languish in the rich vestments of mod- ernity. Rich dry goods are the last es- sentlal of good minstrels. In minstrels as in vaudeville it is seldom that precious scenery and clothes are wedded with good entertainment. 8o it is doubly gratifying to find that under all the gaudy paraphernalia of W. H. West’'s Big Minstrel Jubilee, which opened at the Columbia yesterday, there is a show full of first rate tune, motion and color. Certainly we have never heard better minstrel singing in far Mons. and Mme. Rofix, who do one of the greatest ‘“strong’ acts ever seen in this city. The way Mons.
