It's the 1941 streamlined edition
ef “Minstrel Revels” and you’ll like
It, not only for its smash hits and
catchy tunes but for the fact that
„uut for man the show packs more
pep and humor than a lot of pro
outfits. Jan. 30 and SI is the date,
folks!
If you like stand out humor and
jokes, along with six of the best
end men songs you ever heard who
could come any closer to making
your wishes come true than Roland
Johnson, George Gurley, Stonewall
Cooper, Jack Hale, Mack Outland
and Rufus Mountford? These boys
are really good and you don’t want
to miss them. Jan. 30, Jan. 31st is
the date, folks!
If you like good singing, come
and hear the minstrel circle sing
the refrain of all the numbers and
that smashing opening medley and
finale. Don’t forget the soloist
from the circle—these boys really
put over their numbers. And don’t
forget that master of ceremonies,
J. Byron Gurley, who will be back
again. Jan. 30th and 31st is the
date, folks!
If you like good music don’t for
get Raymond Taylor at the piano
and Jay Sanders who is director of
the orchestra, The music for the
show is complete from beginning to
end and that’s something new in
amateur shows. Take it from us,
the music is plenty good. Jan. 30th
and 31st. are the dates, folks!
The show will be jointly spon
sored by the Clara Hearne school
Parent-Teacher Assoc, and the
Rosemary Recreation Club. As the
majority of the students of the
school come from Rosemary Mill
Village—people who buy tickets can
readily see how the show will ben
efit both the school and the club.
Jan. 30th, 31st is the date, folks!

Pickups N’ Putouts:
There happens to be three songs
in “Minstrel Revels” that unless
we miss our guess—will cause a lot
of people to reach for their hand
kerchiefs—because all three of
them are very, very sweet—that
was a swell doubleheader at
Ledgerwood Park last Saturday—a
home run by Tyrus Woodard fea
tured the affair—George Gurley is
going to lay them in their seats
with the song he has in “Minstrel
Bevels”—Chet Allsbrook is singing
my favorite song—and it is going
to be one of the hits of the show—
the Romancos are planning to hit
the small towns early in the spring
with games in Washington, Green
ville, New Bern, Kinston, Rocky
Mount, Goldsboro, Wilmington, and
the boys are willing to come across
with nice guarantees to see the
State Champs in action—ioeal N. C.
State alumni are planning to at
tend the Wolfpack Club banquet
at Raleigh the latter part of this
month—Mac McGee of Rosemary is
on the program—See you at “Min- 1
strel Revels!”
