LOS ANGELES HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 14, 1909.
READY FOR BIG
MINSTREL SHOW
ATHLETIC CLUB'S COMPANY
FULL OF TALENT
Crowded Houses for Performances
February 18 and '9 Already As
sured, and Third Representa
tion May Be Given
The Los Angeles Athletic club will
give its first minstrel performances at
the Mason opera house February 18
and 19, and from what can be learned
has in store one of the biggest sur
prises in amateur minstrelsy yet
sprung on the public. The company
numbers sixty, all with well trained
voices, and eight endmen, who will be
the fun and mirthmakers. Lyman
Emerson and Ed Clinton are the two
premiers on the end. A few of the
many singers ar« Leßoy Jepson, ten
or; G. W. Isaacs, baritone, and Otto
Dobes, bass. These three gentlemen
are the balladists. George L. McKee
by, the attorney, is to be interlocutor.
One of the many features compris
ing the olio will be Al Treloar, assist
ed by Miss Edna Tempest. Mr. Tre
loar will perform a few of his many
feats heretofore never seen in Los
Angeles. He has added to his act
statuary poses representing historical
scenes and persons.
Scheck and Aldro, in their equilibrist
act, are said to be one of the main
features. Cliff Reuman, amateur mid
dle-weight champion of the coast, will
appear in a comic boxing scene. He
will be assisted by four or five other
well-known amateur champions. The
Kendall quartet will be a prominent
feature.
Those in charge will not divulge the
secret, but claim the opening scene
will surpass anything yet undertaken.
Scenery and equipments for this have
been built especially. Special re
hearsals AVill be held Sunday and on
Wednesday to put the flnisihng
touches, and it is safe to say that
Thursday evening when the curtain
rises at the Mason opera house the
house will be packed.
Arrangements are now under way to
extend the engagement to three nights
instead of two, owing to the great de
mand for seats.
R. L. Crist, the musical director, has
worked night and day.
The end men are as follows: Cecil
Frankel, J. D. Welton, T. O. Treen,
L. P. Swaine, Guy Rice, Teddy Hop
good, Phil Meyers and F. Stevenson.
If arrangements can be completed in
time there will be a big minstrel pa
rade both Thursday and Friday.

GRAVES CLEARS
SCHOOL OF DEBT
BANKER GIVES $20,000 TO
MEDICAL COLLEGE
Big Free Dispensary to Be Named in
Memory of Young Student
Who Met Tragic
Death
In memory of his son, the late Sel
wyn Emmett Graves, J. A. Graves, vice
president of the Farmers' and Mer
chants' National bank, has given $20,000
to the medical college, which has just
been transferred by the University of
Southern California to the State uni
versity.
This sum, with $2000 given by the
faculty, e'ears the medical school of
debt and it will pass under the control
of the State university without incum
brance.
The big free dispensary maintained
by the college will henceforth be known
as the Selwyn Emmett Graves Memor
ial dispensary, in commemoration of
the young man, who was a student at
the school until his tragic death in an
automobile accident several months ago.
The generous gift of Mr. Graves is
deeply appreciated by the faculty of
the medical school, who have been fac
ing a serious problem of debt which it
was deemed best to remove before the
school was taken over by the State
university.
The absorption of the medical school
by the State university is highly satis»
factory to friends of both institutions
and a prosperous era for the Los An
geles branch of the big university is
predicted.
