RIVAL MINSTREL STARS

Fred P. Russell, with The Gus Sun Minstrels, who/heralded to appear at the opera house Wednesday April 20 had an amusing experience with a rival minstrel star while he was appearing with Dumont's Mintrels in Philadelphia some years ago It apjiears both comedians were singing the same song, Russell having the advantage of appearing on the program first. The rival was furious because Russell got all the applause and went to the manager flushed with the heat of anger and jealousy, demanding that Russell's number be changed to the bottom of the bill and his placed at the top. Next day to avoid controversy the Bingers changed places on the program and to the chagrin and astonishment of the rival Russell again carried off the honors amid deafening applause. The manager decided Fred was the champion and his opponent was compelled to step down from his former exhalted jiosition.
