BAND BOYS' MINSTREL WILL BE WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

Prof. Bnuui and Hb Yoang Musicians To Engage la Minstrelsy Jot Sake “ Of Needed Revenue. ~~ The band boys ‘will blacken their faces and hands Wednesday evening and go through all the stunts they have been rehearsing for the past two or three weeks, springing a number of late jokes and endeavoring to'keep the audience in an uproar from rise to fall of the curtain. Prof. Braun has been putting the finishing stunts on the youthful blackface comedians this week and has them in good shape for the rendition of the minstrel. ' , Ticket sales have only been fairly good so far but a good finish is expected and it is hoped to have the house well filled. A little argument for patronage of the band could be made on the basis of the great amount of free music that the boys have so willingly donated. Men are too busy to spend much time with a band and if they are called away from their work they feel that they should be reimbursed for their loss, of time, but the boys can usually get away and are glad to play for any function. This shving amounts to considerable and therefore the boys band costs the public much less and Is deserving of liberal support. The show they are going to give will be the first minstrel show attempted here for a number of years. The following is the program; MINSTREL. Opening Song Company Middle Man ..............
