FORTY LADIES IN BLACK ON THE LOCAL STAGE A Successful Minstrel Performance at Which Santa Fe Turned Out En Masse and Which Proved a Great Success from Start to Finish. A SIMILAR SHOW TO BE GIVEN 8T THE ELKS IN THE NEAR FUTURE The largest audience that has yet gathered fn the new Loretto Hall, thor oughly enjoyed the minstrel perform ance given by forty amateur minstrels last evening for the benefit of the Wo man's Board of Trade. It was entirely local talent, excepting Miss Blanche Rothgeb, the accomplished Las Vegas singer, who took part, and this added greatly to the interest In the perform ance, which was a success from start to finish. There was not a dull moment and the shafts of wit aimed at local people were thoroughly appreciated. The singing was excellent and the drills were fine, especially when it is consid ered that only one week was devoted to practice. The costumes were strik ing and the make-up was effective. Considerable merriment was caused by a dozen young men from the Santa Fe Central Railway offices and a few others who were dressed up as Rubes and sat in the first row in the hall, amusing the audience during Intermissions and send ing bouquets of roses and violets to the stage and once in a while dropping a bunch of lettuce and radishes upon the performers or dropping them into the two big baskets in front of the stage labeled "For Cabbages" and the other "For Eggs and Othre Fruit," and put up by the minstrels in anticipation of favors of that nature. The following was the program: Bones Dinah Dewdrop, Mrs. R. L. Baca; Kalsy Whitewash, Mrs. W. H. Bartlett; Matilda Kinkhair, Miss Haase; Sophia Trotter, Mrs. I. B. Hanna. Tambos Topsy Wayback, Miss Mor rison; Limber Liz, Mrs. S. G. Cart wright; Euphemia Thundercloud, Mrs. Grant Rivenburg. Interlocutor Mr. Klunk. From the opening overture, to which the Belles of Blackville marched on the stage, until the closing number of Part 1, the "Black Bon Tons," the audience was kept laughing by the local quips of the Bones and Tambos. Interspersed were the following solo numbers "De Owl an' de Moon," by Angelina Snow ball, Miss Ethel Easley; "Dat's de Time a Nigger Feels Glad," by Topsy Wayback, Miss Mamie Morrison; "Good Old Summertime," by Siseretta Jones, Miss Emily A. Walter; "Shootin' Craps," a motion song, by Miss Amelia Primrose, Miss Stella Sloan; "Under the Shades of the Palms," by Topsy Way back, Miss Mamie Morrison; "Mr. Dooley," by Dinah Dewdrop and Kalsy Whitewash, Mrs. W.

LEGISLATORS j j j 'If all the legislators should die in one night 'Twould leave this country in a terrible plight, The passenger trains would rust on the rail And the hotel business be dead as a nail. M d& ' No man would hear the sound of the gong, And livery rigs would sell for a song; The hinges of the theater doors would rust, The street cars and omnibusses crumble to dust." j j j W.

Miss Walter sang "Company B," and the in tricate movements of the marchers re ceiyed round after round of applause. Every one of the forty who took part deserve praise for the great success of the evening's performance. A. L. Mor rison, Jr., filled the difficult post of ac companist very satisfactorily, and the manager and coach, Mr. Klunk, scored such a success that the local lodge of Elks has persuaded him to remain In Santa Fe two more weeks to coach the Elks in a minstrel performance which will seek'to equal and if possible sur pass the success of last evening. But the Elks will have to hustle to do It, at least such Is the sentiment of the 600 or more people present at last evening's performance.
