J
Minstrelsy is not dead. Or per- *
laps it would be more complimentr.ry
o Gus Hill and his blackface enter- *
ainers to say that they have re- ]
reated minstrelsy?and one need not ]
ear lest the compliment be over- '
lor.e. j ^
Time was when, if minstrelsy was,
tot almost in a moribund state, soma!
oiks were itching to consign it to the j

Count o' which? It was getting toe;
vobbly about the haid an: laigs, so it 1
lad to travel in a rut. i'
But Gus Hill's minstrels, who open-' 1
;d an engagement at' the Grand j '<
)pera House Friday night, must have;1
>ecome animated with the spirit of! <
ktavus Roy Cohen's celebrated Sons!*

my event, they did arise, and stood?1
in their tiptoes throughout the even- j 1

lat of a cotton field by moon light .
i by far the most impressive. The c
:ene is a remarkable work of art. fi
ne can almost see Old Black Joe j

ixie, beyond a doubt!
It is noteworthy thar many of the
