Al Q. Fltld Minstrels Today.
It’s an old time minstrel show
without the 'Old time tiresome fea
tures. It’s old time in so far as th«
atmosphere and naturalness goes, but
liMds of t bftnd of 9uaday idiool
censors.

Al G. Field has always been a top

has always been an event in local
amusements. It’s coming this time is
arousing unusual interest. The Al
G. Field’s Minstrels will be seen at
the Academy of Music this afternoon
and tonight. The demand for seats
has been thel argest ever recorded
here for Fields Minstrels, and two
capacity houses will be oa hand to
greet the merry minstrel men.
With a splendid aggregation of
gloom-dispellers and with the best
corkological enteruinment that has
been on tour in the Southern country
in many years. Al. G. Field’s Great
er Minstrels make their annual bow
to local followers of minstrelsy at
the Academy tonight.
Al. G. Field has for more than a
decade held the inside track in the
roll sonorously from their tlifoats.
The sun is beginninf to sink dull and
red below th« horiioh and a« th«
dusk draws' down upon th# sh^wy
blossoms, presto there is a transfoiv
mation. The gUttening “Garden gl
the Fountains** is flashed, sudden and
daisiing to view.
A rollicking celebration of a
“Flower Festival” is" in full swing
In gay and gaudy array the comedi
ans, since and dancers and inte^
locutor appear. It is a Joyous, roy*
storing frolic. FunmakerS and Vo*
calists are in action. The audience
is in a scream of mirth. Tfcen
the midst of the whirl of gayety A
quick curtain falls.
There is no wait. Up' goes the
rag again and Forbs field, tlje home
of the Pittsburg Pirates, is shown
Aburglesque ball game is in progress
and it is a hummer. It gives the
studiest baseball fan a ribache.
Then follow the “feature acts**:
“Aunt Dinah’s Quilting Party,” “The
Pomanderer Walk,” "Musical Mus-
ings’ and. “Mexico Ho! Ho!” The
performance closes with an impos
ing tableeu entitled “The Dread-
naught,” a cleverly conceived and
brilliantly execufeld scenic and spe
ctacular exhibit.
'*Teke My Advice.**
Suppose you had a million dollars.
Suppose you thought that you ought
to hire several managers to show
you how to conduct yourself and to
take care of the money, suppose

has surpassed the most elaborate of
hia earlier productions. With orig
inality as his keynote, the veteran
minstrel producer, manager and
artiste has staged and mounted the
different "acts” on a scale whose
masn!tude is unprecedeated on the
niins’rcl stage.
The veteran minstrel has gathered
about him the most talented corps
of comedians, singers and dancers
procurable in the minstrel world.
The great attendance record of the
show and the lensthy and favorable
press cr ticisms ot the performance
are a grand endorsement of the
claim that Al. G. Field has collect
ed a star aggregation of mirth-pro?
ducers and singers.
The jokers are the new bom chil
dren 0i the good or mirth and not
the hoary offspring of cent.uri'es
as:one. as is sometimes the case with
the efforts of burnt-cork artists.
What l3 more they are handed out
strong and swift with never a cessa
tion of pungency and never a sugges
tion of plagarism.
So far as scenic effects and stage
accessories are concerned, the Great
er Minstrels lack for nothing and on
occasions the aggregation approach
es the genuinely spetacular while the
ing this estranged you from the wo
man you loved. What would you do??
That is thep roblem, in a nutshell,
that faces William Collier in bis new
comedy, “Take My Advice,” which he
will bring tto the Academy of Music
next Tuesday night.
Mr. Collier wrote this play himself
in collaboration with James Mont
gomery. the well known playwright
and it is by far the funniest thing
he has ever done. To insure its per
fect interpretation, he has brought
his original William Collie^ Co5i.edy
Theatre Company direct from New
York intact and a splendid perfp”n*
ance is sure to result.

Pilot. They mature annuaJly. After
maturity, whenever they are cut, they
be$in to*earn interest. If they are

value for the owner or for his heirs
