DANDY DIXIE MINSTRELS.
An exchange »ays:—“A capital show headed by Jolly John Larkins and other stars, opened a three night’s engagement at the Opera House on Monday evening to a full house,' and were successful again last night in drawing another full house, with a high class, bright and amusing entertainment. Mr Jolly John Larkins, the coloured comedian, headed the list in the comedy section, and had the audience .rocking with laughter, with his witty gags and funny jokes. His big scream was the song entitled “Bull Frogs Isle,” which left the audience laughing until their ‘sides ached. Mr Billy Sumner, another'coloured comedian, ran a good record, in supplying the comedy portion of the programme, and kept things very lively with his quick repartee and funny patter. He was very lively with his number, “Easy Stepper’s Ball,” and in the. vaudeville section he performed some very clever - dancing, and left the audience in convulsions with his imitations of the bpzz fly. The Hawthorne sisters, the ‘Harmony Duo,’ gave a very fine repdering: of ‘Barcarolle,’ and were so enthusiastically encored that they responded with ‘Beautiful Ohio,’ and still the audience wanted more. Miss Rosa Hawthorne sang ‘Love, the Pedler,’ in fine style. She possesses a fine soprano voice, and kpoiys how’to use it. Miss Daisy Morris, the. dainty little soubrette and dancer, delighted the audience with her rendition of ‘Cuddley Kid,’ and later in the vaudeville section with an Oriental dance, in which she proved herself a dancer of some degree. Mr Don Wallace, the possessor of a fine baritone voice, pleased everyone with his vagabond songs, and he also rendered ‘The Shooting of Dan McGrew’ in no mean style. The performance concluded with a farcical sketch entitled ‘That New Man,’ in which a man’s wife, who has become mentally disarranged,. caused a lot of excitement, and upsets the household in generaL This sketch sent the audience home doubled up with laughter.”
Monday night will be the only appearance of this company. So ifyou want to drown your sorrows go along and see the Dandy Dixie Minstrels, *
