AMUSE ooooooooooooooooOoo o o 0 THE MINSTRELS EAST MUHT o o o ooooooooooniiooooaoou (Augusta Chronicle.) George Evans' Minstrels always draw a big house In Augusta, and last night was no exception to the rule. And they will contlnnue to draw big hour.es ai? long as Mr. Evans keeps up thc high standard he has attulned. This year thc show is even better than ever, for the company has been re organized, thc best men kept .da number of new voices and now danc ers added, that add a great deal to the general enjoyment. Of course.-*lr. Evana Is the one and only "Honey Boy"-who was out of thc show on account of Illness-was miBBod, for he has a peculiar style of humor of his own that ls os delightful as it is individual. But while he was missed in tho monologue, his pluce waa well supplied there hy Mr. Arthur Rigby, who himself, is a clever mono logist and who pleased th? audience immensely, not only with his war map ano his tais on me war, gut even more in the second half of his mono logue, which was extremely clever, and with his remarkable dancing. In the last act. witera Mr. "Lassen" White took tho part usually ployed by "Honey Hoy", as thc "Hull Fighter," ho wau not missed ut all, for Mr. i White is fully as humorous and has even moro striking and individual a utyl0 of humor, abd nothing runnier or bette l* han ever boon seen ou the local stage in a minstrel performance than his rendition or the "Bull Fight er." Tile first part was also even better than In past uuasons. The hand, under Mr. Cupero's leadership, is the best Evana has ever carried and ho has sonto golden-voiced singers. The established favorite, tho "Irish tenor." James Meehan, who won so many laurels last year with the company, was lu splendid voice last night, and made one or the greatest lilts of the evening willi his beautiful rendition of "When You Wore a Tulip and I wore a Roso," This song received number less encores. ' One ot the best of the new talent with tho company 'In Jim liberty, who not only brought down the house with his clever work as end man, but who has one of the most delicious voices ever heard here. His tenor voice has a quality of melting sweet ness that makes one feel ns If one could listen forever to him, and his songs, "i Hear You < ailing.ron-1 I?O3HO0," un?l "Undemow."li tho Water melon Vieic." won? two of tb? ln'rtt I nuiqbcra on the program. The Bhow lia? the best dancing thia your they liavo ever bad. nnil Tommy Hyde, Willie Newsome and Rrigsby did some wonderful dancing, although they were not the only ones, as the com pany has more than a dozen high class dancer? with them. . A feature that deserves especial i mention Ia tho fine orcho3t;,nl nun:- j hers played between the acts. -?lr. ( Cupero proved th0 versatility of his orchestra hy giving a beautiful rendi- , tlon of Paglia CC I, which was followed : by his famous "Memphis Blues" that, us usual set the gallery crazy, though the former wac what pleased the lovers of good music In thc au dience. Thc minstrel Is splendidly Btagcd this season and all of the spec ial features are good. Tho only way thcro could he an improvement would be to have more songs in the first part, for all of the songs were so good thnt lt made the audience wish for moro. Kid on Duran was even handsomer than over, in his female impersonation, and pleased greatly. There will doubtless ho two largo audiences today and tonight at thc Grand and those who go will find that "Honey Hoy" Evans' Minstrels aro f|iiltn up to their usual high stadard. and in some respects hotter this' year than overt oven if tho prince of min strel mc ii is no tublc to do his part. THE GIRL OF THE ?OLDEN WEST Will be thc Attraction nt the Para mount Theatre-Ita willies-.ed by Crowds. "The Girl of the Golden West" ls the bill at the Paramount theatre thia afternoon and evening. Thc story is well known to tho theatre-going public, and tho local play house will probably bc crowded for all perfor mances. "Thc Girl Of the Golden West'" ls an orphan who keeps the saloon in the Californian mining tjwn of Cloudy during the days nf the ?10 gold rush. Her utter honesty and fearlessness command the respect of all the "boys." Of her many suitors, the one \ she is most disposed to favor is Jack | Banco, tho sheriff-gambler from New j Orleans, who Is somewhat less rough' than tho rest, of the men. j At the time when the Btory begins j the c*jiumunK> ia at a high pitch of j excitement concerning the exploits of u city-bred road-agent, whose roui nonie is Johnson hut who ls known as Ramerrez und leads a particularly lesnerate hand nf Mexicans'. In spite of the fact that $5.000 h:is been offer ed Tor his capture, Ramerrez holds up thu Wells. Pargo stage, robbing all the passcngi rs. While doing this, ho re* ceives u slighl wound on tho wrist md when his band disperses with Hie booty remull?s behind to bathe the in iury. The "Girl" chances to ride by. Is Interested by her very first glimpse of the fascinating strnnger. comes to his aid and binds up the wound with part of her bonnet string. This is the beginning of the ro manee between the "Girl" nnd the road agent whom she knows only a.* "Mr. Johnson." Not knowing that Ibo "Girl" is the proprietor of thc Polka Saloon In Cloudy, but having heard that the miners leave their gold In the caro of tho woman who runs that place, Ramerrez plans to rob the establishment. He f>oes to the saloon himself in advance, and there meets Rance, the sheriff-gambler, whose Jealousy at once becomes apparent und who is prevented from making troublo for the| stranger then and there only because the "Girl" vouches for him. From this point, exciting events fol low in rapid succession. While Rance ls following a blind trail for thu road-agent, ttamerrez na? an ear ly morning breakfast with the "Girl" at her cabin, lu attempting to leave, he is seriously wtninded by Rance, and apprehended though the 'Girl" seeks to conceal him in the loft. His presence Is rcaveled by the drop ping of his blood through the cracks of the loft. Rance and the "Girl" ploy cards for the life of Ramerrez. and the "Giri" wins by the ruse of chang ing lier losing carde at the last mo ment. After recovering from MK wounds. Ramerrez is pursued and caught a second time. The "Girl" comes to his rescue at the moment when he io about to be hung for his crimes against tho law, and the drama con cludes with the "Girl" and Ramer rez leaving the mountains to begin* a new life. MINSTRELS PARADE Merrymakers ?Ive Street Parade ut Noon Today. The Honey Boy Evans Minstrels will give a free street parade at noon today, according to an announcement last night by Manager C. H. Bleich o? The Anderson theatre. This parade promises to be a treat, and doubtless there will be a number of onlookers from sidewalks, second story windows and balconies._ OLLIVER'S GLOOM KILLERS Made a Hit at the Palmetto Yesterday Tin- sliow at the 1'alinetto theatre | yest r oday and last nicht, presented i>y Olliver's Uloom Killer?, was not (?lily clean in every respect, but u very creditable performance f'?r any Tab. show to put on. All the different members ot the troup' did their par ticular stunt* very well indeed; thc dancing of thc negro comedian sud one cit Hi.' young Indies of the troupe being exceptionally \>eii dune. Th" Hinging ot tile trio was O. K. in every respect; and tile antiea of thu black faced comedian in attempting to strike ?:fs "barbcr-sliop" chords, wer' very ludicrous; however he always hit the minor right in tin- eye. The singing, dancing, ami acting of each , and ?-very one of the entire company ol ghinni dlspcllcra was all that any one could possibly expec t of a show at anything like the price. Their cos tumes were very pretty and tasty, too. If they continue through th? week UH they skirted out. they will certainly make a lilt with the tlireatre patrons of Anderson. A STEP NEARER CONSTANTINOPLE (CONTINUED FIlOll PAGE ONE.) thc Ottoman capital is the big feature of the war news, anil closely linked with lt ia the sustained excitement in (?reece incident to tho resignation ol' the cabinet of M. Veuizelos. who, deeming (?reece's entry into the hos tilities on the side of the triple en tente Imperative, could not agree with his king and resigned. From the number nf ships engaged and the size and range of the guns, the hattie of the Dardan? iles is un like anything in history, according to naval experts. At 21,000 yards, tho hugo battleship Queen Elizabeth, of the liritish squadron, assisted by smaller ships, still is hurling shells across the (Gallipoli Peninsula into the Turkish strongholds on the Asiatic Bhcre. The admiralty statement car ries the operations through Sunday and admits that the Turks not only scored three minor hits on the Queen Elizabeth, hut that most ^f the ships inside the straits, both French and Hritish, were struck. None was sunk and there were no casualties. The Turkish forts Fumlli Madji dieth Tabla and Hamidieth Tabla, fringing the Asiatic shd-o line, were silenced, as was the Mount Dardanus battery farther south. The Turkish casualties are not known. A Turkish official statement from Constantinople, issued prior to the ad miralty statement tonight, insisted that the fighting In the Dardanelles was devel-iplng in favor of the Turks. It was stated that no batteries were being tiest'-oyed and that the hostile ships were forced to retreat. Aeroplanes, taking wing from the decks of the besieging craft, are play ing a notable part In the operations. One liritish machine became unman ageable and dove into the sea and another was hit by thc Turkish guns 28 times. Comparative calm seemed to pre vail on the western front and In Yu land. An air raid by liritish flyers on the Cern?an submarine base at Ostend, Ilelgium. was announced by the ad miralty tonight. Six machines parti cipated and returned safely. What damage they Inflicted is not known. Ono of the most pisturcsquc hits' of thR day's news ls a report from nucliurcst, Rumania, that Former Sul tan ( Abdul Humid, of Turkey, has re gained his freedom and is gathering his friends and supporters around him. It is asserted that he mav seek to play an Important part in his country's affairs. More progress of the British fleet before Smyrna, by which Turkish bat teries were silenced, Is announced in an admiralty statement. Another of ficial statement says that the Turks' loss in the land fighting at tho head of the Persian gulf is fi o per cent Inrger than previously reported. Land?Glenn?
