Rozell’s Minstrels Gave First Class Entertainment.

Rozell’s Minstrels opened to a medium-sized but very enthusiastic audience, the music, singing and jokes pleasing everybody. The show opened with the usual first part of a minstrel and the stage setting was beautiful. It was so natural that one imagined that he or she was on board one ofr the modern battleships. In the olio we saw first the Four Harmony Kings, who played some classy selections oh a half dozen or more instruments The quartette of saxaphones on the closing number was especially pleasing. The University Quartette sang some very pretty songs, their rendition of The Fussy Rag being extremely clever. This quartette has a great

reputation and are known from coast to coast. The Waldo Brothers performed a number of difficult feats on the Roman rings and won round after round of applause. The show closed with a big laugh producer entitled “Rapid Transit Up-to-Date. • Mr. Chas. Rozell, who heads this clever aggregation is a funny comedian and his jokes and Bongs made everybody laugh. He is a sure cure for the blues. Manager Ellis, of the opera house, has made arrangements for the show to stay over for this evening and this will be your last opportunity to see Rozell’s Minstrels in action thia season, as they are on their way east, where they play the largest summer resorts and parks.

Charles Rozell, with Rozell's Minstrels.
