Ha! as Minstrels, : Make Them Merry. If you call them the “sad sea waves” at Manhattan Beach they will give you the laugh. Lew Dockstader’s minstrel show Is there. The abnormally high tide of last night between Sea Gate and Rockaway 1s accounted for by the fact that the waves reaching Manhattan af- ter the minstrel performance began re mained. “Back up,” eald the waves arriving from the ocean, ‘and give up a chance to hit the sand," “Not on your crests!" replied the waves closest to the rear elevation of the Manhattan Beach Theatee. ‘The minstrel company has begun to do busl- e: It was the same way out in front. | While the ocean bombarded the rear the populace bombarded the box-office. And when the curtain was rung down It was agreed, front and rear, that about the dest minstrel’ performance ever given in this town had juat come to a conclusion. Mr, Dockstader in his latest amuse- ment venture hag followed out the idea } of old-time minstrelsy with modern em- bellishments. There are no white-face innovations in his show. All the per- formers wear burnt cork, and what they do to the risibles of the people out in front 1s a plentiful sufficiency.

Subsequently she is supposed to be re- to a cataleptic state, being stretched across the backs of two chairs, and 1s transferred to a coffin-like recep- tacle supported on four legs. ‘The demonstrator, in order to convince the audience that there Is nothing he- neath the box, crawls under this casket and then releases the front of the vox, showing the prostrate figure. Assuming a position at the rear of the casket, the woman's recumbent figure risex and falls In harmony with his out- stretched hand.

For a finish two tripods are nigged upon the stage, to one of which a wire ts fastened. The free end of the wire terminates in a leather pad, which gripped between the teeth of one of the performers, who ascends the second pedestal.

Each section of the dance is somewhat too brief, but the woman {s extraordinarily graceful and a really capable dancer, Haq she come to this country with the advance notices that heralded the ap pearance of Carmengija and those who followed her, Aragon would be the tale of the town.

One curlous fact is thet the specialties which earlier in the season absolutely falleq to score, are now successful ve- cause the hot weather has driven the Peonle to the roof. Take, for instance, Edith Helena, who two weeks ago sang her songs and left the stage to not one tenth the applause she deserved. Now she scores a hit with her first song and when it becomes apparent to the audl- ence that her violin playing is a vocal imitation and not an instrumental per- formance she scores a real hit, Since Miss Helena {8 apparently engaged for the season she should make a change in her selections, She is not the type of artist who has not been carefully coached in four songs, and by varying her re; tolre she could increase the hit she has already made. She !s the one top-note prodigy who has also a gvod voice and a6 such she Je entitled to distinction. The Hoosier Zouaves go through extended Zouave drill to considerable applause and are the only troupe ap- pearing before the public who realiy, employ Zouave tactics. Riccabona's performing horses score @ hit because they are well trained and well handled. Galetti’s monkeys score an equal hit because of their assumed indifference to the trainer's commands.
