Evening Republican, Volume 15, Number 64, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 16 March 1911 — Band Boys in Black Face Mimic Real “Coons” at Minstrel. [ARTICLE]

Band Boys in Black Face Mimic Real “Coons” at Minstrel.

The band boys were greatly disappointed that they were not greeted by a larger audience at the theatre Wednesday night when they appeared in a minstrel performance, comprising various musical and comedy performances. Those present pronounce the minstrel quite a complete success from the standpoint of the ability of the performers. Some real live jokes were “cracked” and the audience had many hearty laughs at the comedy. The performance will be repeated tonight at the low price of 15 cents for children and 25 cents for adults.
